Biology Glossary search by EverythingBio.com
 
     
  An electrical state in an excitable cell whereby the inside of the cell is made less negative relative to the outside than at the resting membrane potential. A neuron membrane is depolarised if a stimulus decreases its voltage from the resting potential of -70mV in the direction of zero voltage.
