Action Potential Generation

Action Potential Generation is a biophysical process—in the genus of neuronal signaling mechanisms—that is distinguished by the rapid, transient depolarization of the neuronal membrane initiated when the membrane potential reaches a threshold, leading to the all-or-none propagation of an electrical impulse along the axon.
