Neuronal Excitability

Neuronal Excitability is a fundamental physiological property of a neuron whereby its specific complement and dynamics of ion channels, receptors, and membrane conductances determine its ability to convert external or internal stimuli into graded changes of membrane potential and, when threshold is exceeded, into all-or-none action potentials.
