regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential
id: GO:0060079
name: regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Any process that modulates the establishment or extent of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) which is a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential.
