Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential is commonly abbreviated to IPSP. Impulses are transmitted from neuron to neuron by the release of a chemical transmitter across synaptic clefts from the synaptic vesicles along the axon to the postsynaptic receptors of another neuron. An EPSP has the effect of depolarizing a neuron and the IPSP has the effect of hyperpolarizing it. Currently there is more information available under the heading synapse.
