End-plate potential
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
End-plate potential (EPP) is the postsynaptic potential induced at the neuromuscular junction by the opening of the Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The EPP is not an action potential, but it partially depolarizes the membrane and can initiate an action potential in the postsynaptic cell.
