Preferred term

Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • EPSP

Note

  • for miniature end plate potentials or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with MINIATURE POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS

Scope note

  • Depolarization of membrane potentials at the SYNAPTIC MEMBRANES of target neurons during neurotransmission. Excitatory postsynaptic potentials can singly or in summation reach the trigger threshold for ACTION POTENTIALS.
