As a subject matter expert in neuroscience, I can explain that an IPSP, or Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential, is a mechanism by which the neuron's output is diminished. This occurs when a neurotransmitter binds to its receptor on a postsynaptic neuron, causing a decrease in the likelihood that the neuron will fire an action potential. IPSPs are crucial for maintaining the balance of excitation and inhibition in the nervous system, which is essential for proper brain function.

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.
