modulation of inhibitory postsynaptic potential

Term ID
GO:0098828
Synonyms
  • regulation of inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Definition
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP). IPSP is a temporary decrease in postsynaptic membrane potential due to the flow of negatively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an IPSP is an inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) and makes it more difficult for the neuron to fire an action potential.
