Term Detail
GO term:positive regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential
Synonym: positive regulation of EPSP
Synonym: positive regulation of excitatory post-synaptic membrane potential
GO id:GO:2000463
Definition: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.
Number of paths to term: 27
