In the resting state, when it is not sending a signal, a neuron’s membrane is polarized, with the inside of the cell being more negatively charged than the outside (negative membrane potential). There ...

This state is referred to as the resting membrane potential and is ... causes Na + channels on the postsynaptic (recipient) neuron membrane to open so that Na+ ions flow from the extracellular ...

In the resting state, there are many positively charged ions on the outside of this membrane, significantly ... the associated malfunctions in certain neuronal diseases. It is ultimately a ...

In the first article we introduced the anatomy of a neuron brain cell ... second piece - understanding the biophysical basis of the membrane potential and why it is important to the brain.

When a neuron is about to release a signal -- in the form of an electric charge -- it allows ions to pass through its membrane via ion ... a neuron is active or resting, or if it is responding ...
