What is the Result of Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potentials (IPSPs)

Question

What is the result of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs)?
A) Depolarization
B) Hyperpolarization
C) Repolarization
D) An action potential

Accepted Answer

IPSPs cause hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic neuron, making it less likely to fire an action potential.
