Abolished	A monadic quality or occurent inhering in a bearer by virtue of its inability to accomplish a biological process.		TODO: the definition is incorrect. See absent.

(NCI); Ethnicity - an arbitrary classification of the social group a person belongs to, and either identifies with or is identified with by others, as a result of a complex of cultural, biological, geographical and other factors such as linguistic, dietary and religion traditions; ancestry, background, allegiance, or association; and physical characteristics traditionally associated with race. Increasingly the concept is used synonymously with race but this use trend has a pragmatic basis rather than scientific. (NCI); The concept of ethnic origin is an attempt to classify people, not according to their current ethnicity, but according to where their ancestors came from. Ethnic origin has become a popular classification in statistics, where the concept of race has been largely discarded. (from Wikipedia) (NCI); a group of people with a common cultural heritage that sets them apart from others in a variety of social relationships. (CSP)

Excitatory post synaptic potential	A temporary change in postsynaptic membrane potential, usually a depolarization, resulting from presynaptic release of neurotransmitter. This is usually due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell, but can also be due to a reduction in negatively charged ionic current or the turning off of a potassium current. An EPSP generally increases the likelihood of action potential discharge in the postsynaptic neuron. In common usage, the EPSP typically refers to an evoked EPSP.	Excitatory post-synaptic potential Excitatory postsynaptic potential	GO Biological process lists EPSP as a synonym of "Regulation of excitatory post synaptic potential". I don't think that's correct, so I included it here. MM, The GO definition is incorrect, in physics the increase of an electrical potential means that the potential difference between positive and negative sides is larger, at rest of a neuron this means a hyperpolarization or a decrease of postsynaptic potential, not an increase, as asserted by GO. I have edited the definition for accuracy. AB

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential	A temporary change in postsynaptic membrane potential, resulting from presynaptic release of neurotransmitter that has the effect of moving the membrane potential farther from threshold, reducing the probability of transmitter release, or limiting the effectiveness of excitatory inputs.

Hyperpolarization can be the result of several types of ionic changes including an increase of negative charged ions into the cell, an increase in positively charged ions out of the cell, or a decrease of positively charged ions into the cell. Normally, Chloride is the negative charge carrier and the activation of chloride conductances underlies an inhibitory postsynaptic potential.
