Which electrical event is characteristic of inhibitory synaptic interactions?
IPSP: Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential The opening of ligand-gated chloride channels and movement of chloride ions into the cell leads to hyperpolarization of the membrane. Neither increasing the extracellular sodium concentration nor the movement of potassium into the cell leads to hyperpolarization of the membrane. IPSP results in hyperpolarization of membrane. Glycine, GABA are the neurotransmitters involved.
