Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repolarization in neurons is the phase during which the membrane potential returns to a negative value after the depolarization phase of an action potential. This process begins when sodium (Na+) channels start to inactivate and potassium (K+) channels open, allowing K+ to exit the cell, making the inside of the cell more negative.
