Descriptor English: Miniature Postsynaptic Potentials
Descriptor Spanish: Potenciales Postsinápticos Miniatura
Descriptor potenciales postsinápticos en miniatura
Scope note: Potenciales postsinápticos generados por la liberación de neurotransmisores de la terminación nerviosa presináptica en ausencia de un POTENCIAL DE ACCIÓN. Pueden ser POTENCIALES POSTSINÁPTICOS EXCITADORES en miniatura (en inglés m.e.p.p.s), o POTENCIALES POSTSINÁPTICOS INHIBIDORES (m.i.p.p.s).

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055369
Scope note: Postsynaptic potentials generated from a release of neurotransmitters from a presynaptic nerve terminal in the absence of an ACTION POTENTIAL. They may be m.e.p.p.s (miniature EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS) or m.i.p.p.s (miniature INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS).
Annotation: for miniature end plate potentials or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS; for miniature inhibitory postsynaptic potentials coordinate with INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIALS
