Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_POSITIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_POSITIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL

Standard name GOBP_POSITIVE_REGULATION_OF_EXCITATORY_POSTSYNAPTIC_POTENTIAL
Systematic name MM11535
Brief description Any process that enhances the establishment or increases 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:bf, GOC:BHF]
