Inhibitory PSPs

Post-synaptic potentials that make a post-synaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Absolute Refractory Period

A period immediately following the firing of a nerve fiber when it cannot be stimulated for a brief period, regardless of how strong the incoming stimulus may be.
