Synaptic Excitation

Synaptic Excitation is a neurophysiological process in which presynaptic neurotransmitter release induces a postsynaptic depolarization that increases the likelihood of action potential generation, distinguishing it from synaptic inhibition by promoting neuronal firing through excitatory receptor activation.
