Definitions:

Interneurons

Neurons that transmit impulses between other neurons, especially as part of reflex arcs or neural circuits, without directly innervating muscles or glands.

EPSPs

Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials, which are temporary increases in postsynaptic membrane potential caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell.

IPSPs

Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials (IPSPs) are synaptic potentials that make a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Neuronal Membrane

The lipid bilayer that surrounds a neuron, maintaining the ionic environment essential for neurotransmission.
