Electrostatic Pressure

The force exerted by the electrostatic field on charged particles, affecting their movement and distribution.

Hyperpolarization

A change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative, usually making it less likely to fire an action potential.

Resting Potential

The difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a neuron's cell membrane when the neuron is not actively transmitting a signal.

Depolarization

The process in which the difference in electrical charge across a cell membrane decreases, often leading to the initiation of an electrical signal.
