Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a neuron is not being stimulated, its membrane potential is at a resting potential. This is a stable, negative charge that is maintained by the active transport of ions across the cell membrane. The resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 millivolts (mV).
