EPSP | Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential | Postsynaptic Potential, Excitatory | Postsynaptic Potentials, Excitatory | Potential, Excitatory Postsynaptic | Potentials, Excitatory Postsynaptic
The change in potential produced in the membrane of the next neuron when an impulse which has an excitatory influence arrives at the synapse; it is a local change in the direction of depolarization; summation of these potentials can lead to discharge of an impulse by the neuron. (Stedman, 26th ed) |
