Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential is commonly abbreviated to ''IPSP.'' Impulses are transmitted from neuron to neuron by the release of a chemical transmitter across synapse from the synaptic vesicles along the axon to the postsynaptic receptors of another neuron. An EPSP has the effect of depolarizing--driving the charge to positive--a neuron and the IPSP has the effect of hyperpolarizing--driving the charge farther negative--it. In general, having more positive ions (or less negative ones) inside the cell will increase the chance (and thus, rate) of action potential firing. Conversely, driving a cell to negativity will usually lower the firing rate. Currently there is more information available under the heading ''synapse.'' == References == Also see: *excitatory postsynaptic potential *dendrite *neuron *axon Nervous system
