the big picture ACTION POTENTIAL (voltage-gated channels) GRADED POTENTIALS EPSP/IPSP (ligand-gated channels)
graded potentials & membrane sodium (Na+) potassium (K+) chloride (Cl-) channels on dendrites
EPSP & IPSP sodium (Na+) potassium (K+) chloride (Cl-) So, how are EPSPs and IPSPs created?

inactivating NTs • reuptake • enzymatic breakdown • diffusion
ligand-gated channels effects after binding IONOTROPIC - fast METABOTROPIC - cascade of events requiring energy - alters structure of the cell - turn on/off genes
