Definitions:

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

Action Potentials

Rapid, temporary changes in the electrical charge of a cell's membrane, allowing for the transmission of signals along neurons.

Graded Potentials

Changes in membrane potential that vary in size and do not follow the all-or-none principle, important in the initiation of action potentials.
