Problem 5 - Entrance Test

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is caused by an increase in the permeability of postsynaptic neurons to:

Correct: D

IPSP hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic neuron, typically via Cl⁻ ion influx (e.g., GABA/glycine receptors) or K⁺ efflux. This inhibits action potential propagation.
