Question

question 1 (2 points) allodynia is defined as: an increased response to a painful stimulus a decreased sensitivity to touch pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain a tingling sensation without an apparent cause question 2 (2 points) what is the main effect of an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (ipsp)? depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane opening of sodium channels closing of potassium channels

Explanation:

Allodynia is the experience of pain from a non - painful stimulus. An IPSP makes the postsynaptic membrane more negative (hyperpolarized), reducing the likelihood of an action potential.

Answer:

Question 1: Pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain
Question 2: Hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane
