Postsynaptic potential (PSP)

突触后电位

英文解释

Postsynaptic potential, a temporary change in the electrical polarization of the cell membrane of a nerve cell or neuron, is the result of the chemical transmission of nerve impulses across the synapses. Postsynaptic potentials can lead to the production of new impulses.

中文解释

突触后电位 (PSP)，是神经细胞或神经元的细胞膜上电极化的暂时变化，是神经冲动在突触间的化学传递的结果。突触后电位可导致新的冲动的产生。
