Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) are associated with:
A)the opening of potassium channels, allowing the outflow of potassium.
B)the opening of sodium channels, allowing the influx of sodium.
C)the closing of potassium channels, stopping the influx of potassium.
D)the closing of sodium channels, stopping the influx of potassium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IPSPs are typically caused by the opening of potassium channels, which allows potassium ions to flow out of the neuron, making the inside of the cell more negative and thus inhibiting action potential generation.
