Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neuron that is not transmitting information and has a slight negative charge on the inside of the cell membrane is said to be in a resting state or at resting potential. This means that the neuron is not actively sending signals and is maintaining a state of readiness for when it needs to transmit information. Depolarization refers to a change in the voltage across the cell membrane that can occur when a neuron is stimulated, while being highly charged is not a commonly used term to describe the state of a neuron.
