Definitions:

Local Potential

A reversible, localized change in the electrical potential of a neuron's membrane, which can lead to an action potential if a certain threshold is reached.

Depolarization

A reduction in the difference in electric charge across a cell membrane, which is essential for generating action potentials in neurons and muscle cells.

Repolarization

The process of restoring the negative charge inside the cell membrane after a depolarization event.

Afterpotential

The change in membrane potential that follows the completion of an action potential in nerve cells.
