Once an impulse reaches the presynaptic terminals, a response can be obtained in the postsynaptic neuron after a Synaptic delay.

Synaptic delay is due to the time it takes for the synaptic mediator to be released and to act on the receptors on the membrane of the postsynaptic cell. 

The minimum time for synaptic delay is 0.5 ms

Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is produced by depolarization of the postsynaptic cell membrane immediately under the presynaptic ending

Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)

During this potential, excitatory transmitter opens Na+ or Ca2+ channels in the postsynaptic membrane, producing an inward current & the excitability of the neuron to other stimuli is increased

During Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) the excitability of the neuron to other stimuli is decreased
