POSTSYNAPTIC

Domain	Definition
Health	Nerve potential generated by an inhibitory hyperpolarizing stimulation. (references)
Source: compiled by the editor from various references; see credits.

A synapse is a connection between two neurons: postsynaptic and presynaptic. The first is usually the sender of a "signal" (which maybe taken to be the chemicalss it releases or the action potential that triggers this release), while the second is the receiver.

Thus the word presynaptic means something related with the first neural cell, or just that part of a synapse that is in fact a part of this first neuron, whilst postsynaptic means something related to the second cell.
