Neuroprosthetics
An action potential is a rapid, temporary change in the electrical membrane potential of a neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals along the axon to communicate with other neurons or muscles. This process is crucial for how neurons send information, and it relies on the coordinated movement of ions across the neuron's membrane, particularly sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions, which contribute to its depolarization and repolarization phases.
congrats on reading the definition of Action Potential. now let's actually learn it.
