- an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential. This temporary depolarization of postsynaptic membrane potential, caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell, is a result of opening ligand-gated ion channels. These are the opposite of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), which usually result from the flow of negative ions into the cell or positive ions out of the cell. EPSPs can also result from a decrease in outgoing positive charges, while IPSPs are sometimes caused by an increase in positive charge outflow. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC).
EPSPs, like IPSPs, are graded (i.e. they have an additive effect). When multiple EPSPs occur on a single patch of postsynaptic membrane, their combined effect is the sum of the individual EPSPs. Larger EPSPs result in greater membrane depolarization and thus increase the likelihood that the postsynaptic cell reaches the threshold for firing an action potential.
EPSPs in living cells are caused chemically. When an active presynaptic cell releases neurotransmitters into the synapse, some of them bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell. Many of these receptors contain an ion channel capable of passing positively charged ions either into or out of the cell (such receptors are called ionotropic receptors). At excitatory synapses, the ion channel typically allows sodium into the cell, generating an excitatory postsynaptic current. This depolarizing current causes an increase in membrane potential, the EPSP.
Thank you so much!
Very helpful thank you
Help full ... Thnx 👍
Plz provide a link to download the these short notes
MaM what is d difference b/w threshold potential and EPSP ???
Thanks a lot.... huge respect
You're welcome 😊
Keep going....u will achieve high...ur videos r helpful really
That means alotttt! 😊Thank you
Very very much helpful ma'am, please make much more videos
Thank you 😊, sure
How I downloaded these slides
Great job thanks allot
You're welcome 😊
What's causes of fast epsp
Plzz IPSP ka flow chart bhi share kr dy.or properties of synapse bhi
Beautiful handwriting..
Thank you, ❤️
Mam, please reduce the speed
Anyone Here from physics wallah
Absolutely yes🤝
Mam u told "strong EPSP will cause opening of Na channels" but u wrote strong EPSP will cause opening of 'Ca' channels
Maam plz ECF kya hai plz
Saab samjh aye magar ECF KYA HAI
Book ref: Sembulingum
Please explain in a better way?
More than helpful but your accent is not helping me, it's a little bit hard for me to hear and also it was in a hurry
Improve your handwriting
sinncerly handwritting can you not see the good work she did
I think she has good handwriting.
Your standard are very high.
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome 😊
