What Happens to the Neuron's Membrane When Its Membrane Potential

Question

What happens to the neuron's membrane when its membrane potential goes below its resting value?
A) It becomes repolarized.
B) It becomes hyperpolarized.
C) It becomes hypopolarized.
D) It becomes depolarized.

Accepted Answer

When a neuron's membrane potential goes below its resting value, it becomes hyperpolarized. This means that the inside of the neuron becomes even more negative compared to the outside than it is at rest.
