Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) are associated with membrane depolarization, whereas excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) are associated with hyperpolarization. T/F

False.

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential or the membrane potential is the difference in potential voltage inside and outside of the cell. Two main types of synaptic potential are inhibitory postsynaptic potentials and excitatory postsynaptic potentials.

IPSPs makes the cell membrane potential more negative and hyperpolarizes the cell. EPSPs makes the cell membrane potential more positive and causes the cell depolarization.

Thus, the answer is false.
