Difference between Hippocampus and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

Hippocampus vs. Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, "seahorse" from ἵππος hippos, "horse" and κάμπος kampos, "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates. An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Similarities between Hippocampus and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

Hippocampus and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Depolarization, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Glutamic acid, Neuron, Olfactory bulb, Olfactory system.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Excitatory postsynaptic potential

In neuroscience, an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid

gamma-Aminobutyric acid, or γ-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system.

Glutamic acid

Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E) is an α-amino acid with formula.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Olfactory bulb

The olfactory bulb (bulbus olfactorius) is a neural structure of the vertebrate forebrain involved in olfaction, the sense of smell.

Olfactory system

The olfactory system, or sense of smell, is the part of the sensory system used for smelling (olfaction).

Hippocampus and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential Comparison

Hippocampus has 203 relations, while Inhibitory postsynaptic potential has 32. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.40% = 8 / (203 + 32).
