Disfacilitation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Disfacilitation (syn. Inhibition, alleviation reduction) describes in neurophysiology the process of suppressing a tonic excitation of a nerve cell .

Animal experiments have shown that after hyperpolarization of cortical nerve cells lasting longer than 200 ms, the inhibitory postsynaptic potential is also followed by disfacilitation. It is postulated that the inhibition of inter neurons is responsible.
