Preferred term

Miniature Postsynaptic Potentials  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Miniature End Plate Potentials
  • Postsynaptic Potential, Spontaneous
  • Postsynaptic Potentials, Spontaneous
  • Potential, Spontaneous Postsynaptic
  • Potentials, Spontaneous Postsynaptic
  • Spontaneous Postsynaptic Potential
  • Spontaneous Postsynaptic Potentials

Note

  • for miniature end plate potentials or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS; for miniature inhibitory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS

Scope note

  • Postsynaptic potentials generated from a release of neurotransmitters from a presynaptic nerve terminal in the absence of an ACTION POTENTIAL. They may be m.e.p.p.s (miniature EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS) or m.i.p.p.s (miniature INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS).
