Scope note: Depolarization of membrane potentials at the SYNAPTIC MEMBRANES of target neurons during neurotransmission. Excitatory postsynaptic potentials can singly or in summation reach the trigger threshold for ACTION POTENTIALS.
Annotation: for miniature end plate potentials or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with MINIATURE POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS
