Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is associated with hyperpolarization, which means that the cell becomes more negative and less likely to fire an action potential. This is in contrast to an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP), which is associated with depolarization and makes the cell more likely to fire an action potential.
