Answer:

True

In inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, the opening of chlorine and potassium channels generally occurs so that chlorine enters, with a negative charge, and potassium leaves, with a positive charge. The synergistic effect of this ionic flow is the hyperpolarization of the cell, making it difficult for an action potential to occur.
