Definitions:

Resting Potential

The electrical charge of a neuron when it is not active, representing a state of readiness for activation.

Action Potential

A rapid rise and fall in electrical charge across a neuronal membrane, fundamental for nerve impulse transmission.

Millivolts

A unit of electric potential equal to one thousandth of a volt, often used in measurements of neuron activity.

Synaptic Gap

The tiny space between neurons, across which neurotransmitters travel to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
