Can you explain the process and regulation of action potentials in neurons including key ion channels involved?
Answer 1
Daniel Stevens
Action potentials are rapid electrical signals in neurons. They involve depolarization, where voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing Na+ influx, followed by repolarization through voltage-gated potassium channels allowing K+ efflux. This sequence is tightly regulated to ensure proper neural signaling.
