The 94 pages that link to Action potential, each with the reason it gives.

• NeuroscienceBroader topic: Action potentials carry fast electrical signals along many neurons.

• Membrane potentialBroader topic: Neurons and muscle cells use this voltage event to transmit signals.

• PhysiologyBroader topic: Action potentials transmit information through nerves and trigger activity in muscle and other cells.

• Positive feedbackBroader topic: Opening voltage-gated sodium channels depolarizes the membrane and opens still more channels.

• Neural codingBroader topic: Its occurrence and timing provide a common unit for describing neural activity.

• ElectrophysiologyBroader topic: Its characteristic voltage waveform is a central signal studied in excitable tissue.

• MagnetoencephalographyBroader topic: Action potentials contribute to brain activity, though MEG primarily detects synchronized postsynaptic currents.

• Nerve conductionBroader topic: It is the electrical impulse that travels along many neurons.

• BiophysicsBroader topic: It is a measurable electrical event produced by ion movement across membranes.

• ArrhythmiaBroader topic: The cardiac action potential is the electrical event altered in many arrhythmias.

• Alan HodgkinBroader topic: Hodgkin’s research explained the ionic events that generate this nerve signal.

• Depolarization (neuroscience)Broader topic: It is the all-or-none electrical event that follows sufficient neuronal depolarization.

• Edgar AdrianBroader topic: Adrian measured these impulses in sensory nerves and showed their all-or-none character.

• Communication (biology)Broader topic: Electrical impulses carry fast signals through neurons and other excitable cells.
