Postsynaptic Potentials
Postsynaptic Potentials
This lesson discusses glutamate release after an action potential, and the resulting post-synaptic potentials.
Topics covered in this lesson
- Glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic potentials
- Excitatory post-synaptic currents (EPSCs)
- Excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs)
- EPSPs vs EPSCs
- Post-synaptic voltage-dependence of EPSPs
- Temporal and spatial summation of post-synaptic potentials
