The membrane potential of the neuron has a negative resting or equilibrium value is called ____________

The membrane potential of the neuron has a negative resting or equilibrium value is called ____________ Correct Answer Hyperpolarization

The membrane potential of the neuron has a negative resting or equilibrium value. Making this more negative leads to a hyperpolarization which are trying to depolarize the membrane.
