When the resting potential is made more negative (e.g.,moved from -70 to -73 millivolts),the neuron is said to be depolarized.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the resting potential is made more negative, the neuron is said to be hyperpolarized or more polarized, not depolarized. Depolarization occurs when the resting potential becomes less negative, moving closer to the threshold for action potential firing.
