| excitatory postsynaptic potential |
An electrical change (depolarisation) in the membrane of a postsynaptic neurone caused by the binding of an excitatory neurotransmitter from a presynaptic cell to a postsynaptic receptor; makes it more likely for a postsynaptic neurone to generate an action potential.
