Human Gene Set: GOBP_NEGATIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_NEGATIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL

Standard name

GOBP_NEGATIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL

Systematic name

M24709

Brief description

Any process that prevents the establishment or decreases the extent of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) which is a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential. [GOC:BHF]
