  Inhibitory postsynaptic potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential (commonly abbreviated as IPSP) is the change in membrane voltage of a postsynaptic neuron which results from synaptic activation of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors.
The most common inhibitory neurotransmitters in the nervous system are GABA and glycine.
A postsynaptic potential is considered inhibitory, when the resulting change in membrane voltage makes it more difficult for the cell to fire an action potential, lowering the firing rate of the neuron.

 Brain waves, or the EEG are electrical signals that can be recorded from the brain, either directly or through the ...
We have found that the networks of inhibitory neurons can produce 40 Hz or gamma rhythms without the need for the much larger population of excitatory neurons (the pyramidal cells), because the rhythms survive drugs which block excitatory synaptic transmission.
The essential idea is that when you drive inhibitory neurons so that they want to fire faster than around 40 times a second, the inhibitory synapses between these neurons prevent them firing faster than every 25 ms or so (the precise time is determined by the size and duration of the inhibitory synaptic potential).
Slowing the inhibitory potentials (IPSPs) between inhibitory neurons slows the gamma rhythm as predicted.

Histidine is also used as a chelating agent in some cases of arthritis and to treat tissue overload from copper, iron or other heavy metals, to remove them from the body.
Histidine also acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, boosting the activity of soothing alpha waves in the brain and suporting resistant to the effects of anxiety and stress.
In cases of histidine deficiency, there is an unbalancing effect on alpha rhythms, leading to greater beta wave production.
