Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EPSPs (Excitatory Post-Synaptic Potentials) move the cell closer to threshold and increase the likelihood of an action potential. IPSPs (Inhibitory Post-Synaptic Potentials) and hyperpolarization have the opposite effect, decreasing the likelihood of an action potential.
