In neurophysiology, the reversal of the resting potential in excitable cell membranes when stimulated, i.e., the tendency of the cell membrane potential to become positive with respect to the potential outside the cell.The loss of membrane potential that occurs during electrical signaling in cells such as neurons.Loss, reduction, or change in the chemical or electrical polarity of a part such as occurs in the transmission of an impulse along a nerve or muscle fiber.The reduction of the membrane potential in nerve or muscle cells to a less negative value.The sudden surge of charged particles across the membrane of a nerve or muscle cell that accompanies a physicochemical change in the membrane and cancels out, or reverses, its resting potential to produce an action potential. The passage of a nerve impulse is a rapid wave of depolarization along the membrane of a nerve fiber.A reversal of charges at a cell membrane; an electrical change in an excitable cell in which the inside of the cell becomes positive (less negative) in relation to the outside. This is the opposite of polarization and is caused by a rapid inflow of sodium ions."}
