Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The negative electrical charge of about -70 millivolts within a neuron is known as the resting state. This state is maintained by the selective permeability of the neuron's membrane to different ions, such as potassium and sodium. During this state, the neuron is not firing any signals or transmitting any information.
