Definitions:

IPSP

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, a type of synaptic potential that makes a neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Action Potential

A rapid rise and subsequent fall in voltage or membrane potential across a cellular membrane, momentarily allowing the cell to become depolarized.

Depolarization

The process by which the electrical charge of a cell membrane becomes less negative, leading to the generation of an action potential in neurons.

Hyperpolarization

A change in a cell's membrane potential making it more negative, typically reducing the likelihood of generating an action potential.
