Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that IPSPs and EPSPs differ in amplitude and latency?

That inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) and excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) differ in amplitude and kinetics is a foundational physiological fact regarding synaptic potentials, requiring no citation.

The analysis

The claim states that IPSPs and EPSPs differ in amplitude and latency (kinetics). This is basic neurophysiology (EPSPs depolarize via glutamate/AMPA/NMDA, moving toward threshold, while IPSPs hyperpolarize or shunt via GABA, moving away from threshold). It is a matter of common definition and everyday observation in neurobiology. Per instructions, common knowledge claims receive no citation and the verdict is set to COMMON_KNOWLEDGE.
