A schematic illustration of the essential parameters used to characterise the shape and amplitude of an inhibitory-postsynaptic potential (IPSP) or inhibitory postsynaptic current for both theory and experiment. Γik is the peak amplitude of the IPSP which occurs at time δik. The decay constant of the IPSP, ζik is defined as the value at which the IPSP has decayed to approximately 1/e of its peak value. Further details regarding this parameterisation can be found in Liley and Bojak (2005). Figure from Liley and Bojak (2005)
