similarities with epsps and ipsps

what are the simalarities between epsps and ipsps

• generally depolarizing, but can be hyperpolarization

• caused by an increase in the cell membranes permability to na+ (or k+ in the case of hyperpolarization)

• they are local and do not propagate down the neuron, but spread like an epsp

• they decrease over time and space

• they are proportional to the stimulus

generally, sensory cell releases _____ proportional to the _____. this then elicits more or fewer ____. our brain interpret the ____ of _____ _____
