Overview
I'm working on a social science multi-part question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
1) Define resting membrane potential and the difference between excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs).
2) Describe how the forces of diffusion and electrostatic pressure work collectively to facilitate electrochemical communication.
3) Explain the action potential and the features of synaptic communication in neurons.
