Hyperpolarization occurs during the:
A) depolarization phase.
B) resting potential.
C) action potential.
D) refractory period.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperpolarization typically occurs during the refractory period, which is the phase following an action potential when a neuron is less likely to fire another action potential. This is due to the increased permeability of the membrane to potassium ions, leading to an internal charge that is more negative than the resting potential.
