A reduction in the difference in electrical charge across a cell's plasma membrane, which is a crucial step in the conduction of impulses along nerve cells.

Voltage-Gated

Ion channels that open or close in response to changes in membrane potential, playing key roles in the transmission of neural impulses.

Myelin Sheaths
