inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
A process that causes 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. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef]
Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) are changes in the membrane potential of a neuron that decrease the likelihood of an action potential occurring. They are the opposite of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), which increase the likelihood of an action potential. IPSPs are typically caused by the release of neurotransmitters that bind to inhibitory receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. These receptors can open chloride channels, allowing chloride ions to enter the cell, or potassium channels, allowing potassium ions to leave the cell. The influx of chloride or efflux of potassium ions hyperpolarizes the neuron, making it more difficult for an action potential to be generated. The process of IPSP generation can be summarized as follows: 1. Action potential arrives at the presynaptic terminal of the inhibitory neuron. 2. Neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic terminal. 3. Neurotransmitter binds to inhibitory receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. 4. Binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptors opens ion channels. 5. Influx of chloride or efflux of potassium ions hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic neuron. 6. Hyperpolarization decreases the likelihood of an action potential occurring. IPSPs play an important role in regulating neuronal activity by balancing the excitatory input received by a neuron. They are essential for preventing excessive neuronal activity and maintaining normal brain function. For example, IPSPs are involved in the control of muscle movement, sensory processing, and learning and memory. In addition, dysregulation of IPSPs has been implicated in several neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and anxiety disorders.'

| clozapine | clozapine : A benzodiazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine substituted by a chloro group at position 8 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 11. It is a second generation antipsychotic used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Clozapine: A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration of this agent. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine; organochlorine compound | adrenergic antagonist; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; environmental contaminant; GABA antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; xenobiotic |

Olanzapine: A benzodiazepine derivative that binds SEROTONIN RECEPTORS; MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS; HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTORS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS; and DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. It is an antipsychotic agent used in the treatment of SCHIZOPHRENIA; BIPOLAR DISORDER; and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER; it may also reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine | antiemetic; dopaminergic antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; serotonin uptake inhibitor |
