What is the reversal potential for an IPSP in an adult neuron?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reversal potential for an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) in an adult neuron is near the neuron's resting potential, typically around -70 mV, because IPSPs are primarily mediated by the flow of chloride ions (Cl-) into the neuron or potassium ions (K+) out of the neuron, which stabilizes the membrane potential near its resting level, making the neuron less likely to fire an action potential.
