At rest, potassium ions are more concentrated inside the cell than outside. This establishes the resting membrane potential, which is negative inside the cell compared to the outside. Sodium ions are more concentrated outside the cell and active transport mechanisms work to maintain this concentration gradient. Metabolism is still occurring at rest, although at a low rate. The inside of the neuron is negatively charged as compared to the outside.
