Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) are associated with which of the following?
A) Depolarization of the plasma membrane
B) Repolarization of the plasma membrane
C) Hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane
D) No change in the membrane potential
E) No change of the threshold

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IPSPs are associated with hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane, making the inside of the neuron more negative and thus further from the threshold needed to trigger an action potential.
