Inhibitory postsynaptic current
Description: Any synaptic current which reduces the likelihood of an action potential. Typically this is mediated by an increase in chloride conductance or potassium conductance. Inhibitory postsynaptic current is usually synonymous with an evoked inhibitory post synaptic current. , Any synaptic current which reduces the likelihood of an action potential.

Evoked inhibitory postsynaptic current
Description: An IPSC that is the result of an action potential invading a presynaptic inhibitory axon, as opposed to a spontaneous IPSC
Preferred ID: NLX:322 Type: term ID# ILX:0103998 Score: 635.0439
Spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic current
Description: An IPSC that is the result of a spontaneous fusion of a vesicle, opposite of an evoked IPSP.

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Description: A temporary change in postsynaptic membrane potential, resulting from presynaptic release of neurotransmitter that has the effect of moving the membrane potential farther from threshold, reducing the probability of transmitter release, or limiting the effectiveness of excitatory inputs. Typically this is an increase in postsynaptic potential, or hyperpolarization, but depolarizing or nonpolarizing potentials can also be considered inhibitory if they reduce the likelihood of action potential firing. Hyperpolarization can be the result of several types of ionic changes including an increase of negative charged ions into the cell, an increase in positively charged ions out of the cell, or a decrease of positively charged ions into the cell. Normally, Chloride is the negative charge carrier and the activation of chloride conductances underlies an inhibitory postsynaptic potential.
