Postsynaptic potential - Wikipedia
Postsynaptic potentials are important mechanisms by which neurons communicate with each other allowing for information processing, learning, memory formation, and complex behavior …
Postsynaptic Potentials – Foundations of Neuroscience
Postsynaptic potentials are changes in membrane potential that move the cell away from its resting state. For our purposes, postsynaptic potentials are measured in the dendrites and cell …
Postsynaptic potentials: EPSPs and IPSPs | Kenhub
Nov 21, 2024 · Postsynaptic potentials refer to changes observed in the resting potential of the neuronal cell membrane triggered by synaptic activation. In its resting state, the cell …
Presynaptic vs. Postsynaptic: What’s the Difference?
Jul 29, 2025 · The presynaptic neuron acts as the sender, dispatching signals, while the postsynaptic neuron functions as the receiver, interpreting these incoming messages. …
Postsynaptic potential (PSP) | Britannica
Postsynaptic potential (PSP), a temporary change in the electric polarization of the membrane of a nerve cell (neuron). The result of chemical transmission of a nerve impulse at the synapse …
Postsynaptic Neuron Definition - Anatomy and Physiology I Key …
A postsynaptic neuron is the receiving neuron at a chemical synapse, where it integrates the signals transmitted from the presynaptic neuron. It plays a crucial role in the communication …
2.3.9: Postsynaptic Potential - Medicine LibreTexts
Postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) are graded fluctuations in the dendritic regions of neurons, which serve as recipients of synaptic inputs from neighboring cells. These inputs can exert either …
Receptor Potentials & Postsynaptic Potentials – Introductory ...
Signals exchanged between neurons are called postsynaptic potentials. In this case, changes in transmembrane voltage rely on synaptic transmission. Another type of postsynaptic potential …
