An excitatory postsynaptic potential is a synaptic potential associated with increased likelihood of a postsynaptic action potential. Its size and effect depend on the receiving neuron's state; the definition concerns firing, not a fixed neurotransmitter identity. See synaptic potential for the mechanism and source.
