Definitions:

Depolarization

Depolarization is a change in the electrical charge of a neuron's membrane, leading to a less negative inner membrane potential and often initiating an action potential, which enables the transmission of neural signals.

Electrical Charge

A physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Neural Networking

A computational approach inspired by the network of neurons in the brain, used to approximate complex functions and patterns.

Action Potentials

Rapid and temporary electrical signals in neurons that propagate along an axon to transmit information.
