…The excitatory postsynaptic potential is a depolarized potential (the inside of a cell is negatively polarized across the cell membrane. A decrease in this polarization is called depolarization, and an increase is called hyperpolarization), and when this reaches a certain threshold potential or higher, it generates an action potential. Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials are often hyperpolarized potentials, which antagonize the excitatory postsynaptic potential and suppress its excitability. …
