[[File:Action Potential.gif|thumb|upright=1.5|As an action potential ~~(nerve impulse)~~ travels down an [[axon]] there is a change in polarity across the [[cell membrane|membrane]] of the axon. In response to a signal from another [[neuron]], sodium- ~~(Na~~+) and potassium- (K+) gated [[Voltage-gated ion channel|ion channels]] open and close as the membrane reaches its [[threshold potential]]. Na+ channels open at the beginning of the action potential, and Na+ moves into the axon, causing [[depolarization]]. [[Repolarization]] occurs when the K+ channels open and K+ moves out of the axon, creating a change in polarity between the outside of the cell and the inside. The impulse travels down the axon in one direction only, to the [[axon terminal]] where it signals other neurons.

动物、植物和真菌的细胞膜几乎都在细胞外部和内部维持一个电压差，称为膜电位（membrane potential）。动物细胞的跨膜电压一般是 -70 mV。这意味着细胞内部相对于外部存在一个负电压。在大多数类型的细胞中，膜电位通常相当稳定。而某些类型的细胞具有电活性，即它们的电压随着时间而波动。在某些类型的有电活性的细胞，包括神经元和肌肉细胞中，电压波动的通常形式为迅速上升而后迅速下降。这些升降的循环即为动作电位。在某些类型的神经元中，整个升降循环在千分之几秒内发生。在肌肉细胞中，典型的动作电位持续时间约为五分之一秒。在其他类型的细胞和植物中，动作电位可能持续三秒或更长时间<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal|last=Pickard|first=Barbara | name-list-style = vanc |date=June 1973|title=Action Potentials in Higher Plants|url=http://www.esalq.usp.br/lepse/imgs/conteudo_thumb/Action-Potentials-in-Higher-Plants-1.pdf|journal=The Botanical Review|volume=39|issue=2|pages=188|doi=10.1007/BF02859299|s2cid=5026557 }}</ref>。

The membrane potential starts out at approximately −70 mV at time zero. A stimulus is applied at time = 1 ms, which raises the membrane potential above −55 mV ~~(the~~ threshold ~~potential)~~. After the stimulus is applied, the membrane potential rapidly rises to a peak potential of +40 mV at time = 2 ms. Just as quickly, the potential then drops and overshoots to −90 mV at time = 3 ms, and finally the resting potential of −70 mV is reestablished at time = 5 ms.

动物身体组织中的细胞都是电极化的——换句话说，它们维持一个跨细胞质膜的电压差，即所谓的膜电位。这种电极化是嵌入在质膜的蛋白质结构（称为离子泵和离子通道）之间复杂的相互作用中产生的。神经元细胞膜上的离子通道在不同的细胞部位而类型不同，因而树突、轴突和胞体具有不同的电特性。因此，神经元质膜仅在某些部位是可兴奋的（能够产生动作电位）。近年的研究表明，神经元最易兴奋的部位是轴丘（轴突出离胞体的部位）后的部位，称为轴突始段（axonal initial segment），但在大多数情况下轴突和胞体也是可兴奋的<ref name=":6">{{cite journal | vauthors = Leterrier C | title = The Axon Initial Segment: An Updated Viewpoint | journal = The Journal of Neuroscience | volume = 38 | issue = 9 | pages = 2135–2145 | date = February 2018 | pmid = 29378864 | pmc = 6596274 | doi = 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1922-17.2018 }}</ref>。

这些的结果是，''Na''V 通道的动力学决定于状态转换矩阵，其中转换速率以一种复杂的方式依赖于电压。由于这些通道本身在决定电位中起着重要作用，系统的全局动力学可能很难计算出来。为了解决这个问题，Hodgkin 和 Huxley 为决定离子通道状态的参数建立了一组微分方程，称为 Hodgkin-Huxley 方程（Hodgkin-Huxley equations）。这些方程在后续的研究被修正了很多，但构成很多动作电位生物物理学的理论研究的起点。

随着膜电位的增加，钠离子通道打开，允许钠离子进入细胞。随后钾离子通道打开，允许钾离子流出细胞。钠离子内流增加了细胞中带正电荷的阳离子的浓度，导致去极化，这时细胞的电位高于细胞的静息电位。钠离子通道在动作电位峰值处关闭，而钾离子继续流出细胞。钾离子外流会降低细胞的膜电位或使细胞超极化。膜电位比静息电位高一点时，钾电流超过钠电流，而恢复到正常的静息值，通常为 -70 mV。然而，如果电位增加超过一个关键阈值，通常高于静息值 15 mV ，钠电流将占主导地位。这就导致了一种失控的情况，即钠电流的正反馈激活了更多的钠通道。因此，细胞发放，产生动作电位。神经元诱发动作电位的频率通常被称为发放频率或神经放电频率。

在动作电位过程中，电压门控通道的开放所产生的电流通常明显大于起初的刺激电流。因此，动作电位的幅度、持续时间和波形在很大程度上取决于可兴奋膜的性质，而不是刺激的幅度或持续时间。动作电位的这种全或无的特性使它有别于受体电位（receptor potentials）、电紧张电位（electrotonic potentials）、阈下膜电位振荡（subthreshold membrane potential oscillations）和突触电位（synaptic potentials）等随刺激强度变化的级量电位。取决于电压门控通道的类型、漏电通道、通道分布、离子浓度、膜电容、温度等因素，许多细胞类型和细胞分区中存在多种动作电位类型。

Neurons are electrically excitable cells composed, in general, of one or more dendrites, a single [[soma (biology)|soma]], a single axon and one or more [[axon terminal]]s. Dendrites are cellular projections whose primary function is to receive synaptic signals. Their protrusions, known as [[dendritic spine]]s, are designed to capture the neurotransmitters released by the presynaptic neuron. They have a high concentration of [[ligand-gated ion channel]]s. These spines have a thin neck connecting a bulbous protrusion to the dendrite. This ensures that changes occurring inside the spine are less likely to affect the neighboring spines. The dendritic spine can, with rare exception ~~(see~~ [[Long-term potentiation#Properties|LTP]]), act as an independent unit. The dendrites extend from the soma, which houses the [[Cell nucleus|nucleus]], and many of the "normal" [[eukaryote|eukaryotic]] organelles. Unlike the spines, the surface of the soma is populated by voltage activated ion channels. These channels help transmit the signals generated by the dendrites. Emerging out from the soma is the [[axon hillock]]. This region is characterized by having a very high concentration of voltage-activated sodium channels. In general, it is considered to be the spike initiation zone for action potentials, i.e. the [[trigger zone]]. Multiple signals generated at the spines, and transmitted by the soma all converge here. Immediately after the axon hillock is the axon. This is a thin tubular protrusion traveling away from the soma. The axon is insulated by a [[myelin]] sheath. Myelin is composed of either [[Schwann cells]] ~~(in~~ the peripheral nervous ~~system)~~ or [[oligodendrocytes]] ~~(in~~ the central nervous ~~system)~~, both of which are types of [[glial cells]]. Although glial cells are not involved with the transmission of electrical signals, they communicate and provide important biochemical support to neurons. To be specific, myelin wraps multiple times around the axonal segment, forming a thick fatty layer that prevents ions from entering or escaping the axon. This insulation prevents significant signal decay as well as ensuring faster signal speed. This insulation, however, has the restriction that no channels can be present on the surface of the axon. There are, therefore, regularly spaced patches of membrane, which have no insulation. These [[nodes of Ranvier]] can be considered to be "mini axon hillocks", as their purpose is to boost the signal in order to prevent significant signal decay. At the furthest end, the axon loses its insulation and begins to branch into several [[axon terminal]]s. These presynaptic terminals, or synaptic boutons, are a specialized area within the axon of the presynaptic cell that contains [[neurotransmitters]] enclosed in small membrane-bound spheres called [[synaptic vesicle]]s.

神经元是由一个或多个树突、一个体细胞、一个轴突和一个或多个轴突终末组成的电激活细胞。树突是细胞的投射，其主要功能是接收突触信号。它们的突起被称为树突棘，用来捕获突触前神经元释放的神经递质。它们具有高浓度的配体门控离子通道。这些棘有一个细细的颈部，连接球状突起和树突。这确保脊柱内部发生的变化不太可能影响邻近的脊柱。树突棘除了极少数例外(见 LTP) ，可以作为一个独立的单位。树突从细胞体延伸出来，细胞体是细胞核和许多“正常”的真核细胞器的所在地。与脊柱不同，躯体的表面布满了电压激活的离子通道。这些通道帮助传输由树突产生的信号。从躯体出来的是轴突岗。这个区域有一个非常高浓度的电压激活钠离子通道拥有属性。一般认为它是动作电位的尖峰起始区。触发区。在脊柱处产生的多个信号，由躯体传输的信号都在这里汇聚。紧跟在轴突岗之后的是轴突。这是一个细管状突起，从躯体中游离出来。轴突由髓鞘绝缘。髓鞘由施万细胞(周围神经系统)或少突胶质细胞(中枢神经系统)组成，这两种细胞都是神经胶质细胞。虽然神经胶质细胞不参与电信号的传递，但它们可以相互沟通，为神经元提供重要的生化支持。具体来说，髓磷脂在轴突周围多次包裹，形成一层厚厚的脂肪层，阻止离子进入或逃离轴突。这种绝缘防止显着的信号衰减，以及确保更快的信号速度。然而，这种绝缘有一个限制，即轴突表面不能有通道。因此，有规则间隔的膜片，没有绝缘层。这些郎飞结可以被认为是“迷你轴突小丘”，因为他们的目的是增强信号，以防止重大信号衰减。在最远端，轴突失去了它的绝缘性，并开始分支成几个轴突终端。这些突触前终末，或称突触终结，是突触前细胞轴突内的一个特殊区域，其中包含神经递质，这些神经递质被包裹在被称为突触小泡的小膜内。

===Initiation===

Before considering the propagation of action potentials along [[axon]]s and their termination at the synaptic knobs, it is helpful to consider the methods by which action potentials can be initiated at the [[axon hillock]]. The basic requirement is that the membrane voltage at the hillock be raised above the threshold for firing. There are several ways in which this depolarization can occur.

Action potentials are most commonly initiated by [[excitatory postsynaptic potential]]s from a presynaptic neuron.{{sfnm|1a1=Bullock|1a2=Orkand|1a3=Grinnell|1y=1977|1pp=177–240|2a1=Schmidt-Nielsen|2y=1997|2pp=490-499|3a1=Stevens|3y=1966|3p=47–68}} Typically, [[neurotransmitter]] molecules are released by the [[synapse|presynaptic]] [[neuron]]. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell. This binding opens various types of [[ion channel]]s. This opening has the further effect of changing the local permeability of the [[cell membrane]] and, thus, the membrane potential. If the binding increases the voltage ~~(depolarizes~~ the ~~membrane)~~, the synapse is excitatory. If, however, the binding decreases the voltage ~~(hyperpolarizes~~ the ~~membrane)~~, it is inhibitory. Whether the voltage is increased or decreased, the change propagates passively to nearby regions of the membrane ~~(as~~ described by the [[cable equation]] and its ~~refinements)~~. Typically, the voltage stimulus decays exponentially with the distance from the synapse and with time from the binding of the neurotransmitter. Some fraction of an excitatory voltage may reach the [[axon hillock]] and may ~~(in~~ rare ~~cases)~~ depolarize the membrane enough to provoke a new action potential. More typically, the excitatory potentials from several synapses must [[spatial summation|work together]] at [[temporal summation|nearly the same time]] to provoke a new action potential. Their joint efforts can be thwarted, however, by the counteracting [[inhibitory postsynaptic potential]]s.

If the binding increases the voltage （depolarizes the membrane）, the synapse is excitatory. If, however, the binding decreases the voltage （hyperpolarizes the membrane）, it is inhibitory. Whether the voltage is increased or decreased, the change propagates passively to nearby regions of the membrane （as described by the [[cable equation]] and its refinements）. Typically, the voltage stimulus decays exponentially with the distance from the synapse and with time from the binding of the neurotransmitter. Some fraction of an excitatory voltage may reach the [[axon hillock]] and may （in rare cases） depolarize the membrane enough to provoke a new action potential. More typically, the excitatory potentials from several synapses must [[spatial summation|work together]] at [[temporal summation|nearly the same time]] to provoke a new action potential. Their joint efforts can be thwarted, however, by the counteracting [[inhibitory postsynaptic potential]]s.

动作电位通常由突触前神经元的兴奋性突触后电位引起。通常，神经递质分子由突触前神经元释放。这些神经递质随后与突触后细胞上的受体结合。这种结合打开了各种类型的离子通道。这个开口具有改变细胞膜局部通透性的进一步效果，从而改变了膜电位的通透性。如果结合增加电压(去极化膜) ，突触是兴奋性的。然而，如果这种结合降低了电压(使细胞膜超极化) ，它就是抑制。无论电压是升高还是降低，这种变化都会被动地传播到膜的附近区域(如电缆方程及其改进所描述的)。通常情况下，电压刺激随着与突触的距离和与神经递质结合的时间成指数衰减。兴奋性电压的一部分可能到达轴突小丘，并且(在少数情况下)使膜去极化，足以引起新的动作电位。更典型的是，来自几个突触的兴奋性电位必须在几乎同一时间共同激发一个新的动作电位。然而，他们的共同努力可能被反作用的抑制性突触后电位所阻碍。

In [[sensory neurons]], an external signal such as pressure, temperature, light, or sound is coupled with the opening and closing of [[ion channels]], which in turn alter the ionic permeabilities of the membrane and its voltage.{{sfnm|1a1=Schmidt-Nielsen|1y=1997|1pp=535–580|2a1=Bullock|2a2=Orkand|2a3=Grinnell|2y=1977|2pp=49–56, 76–93, 247–255|3a1=Stevens|3y=1966|3pp=69–79}} These voltage changes can again be excitatory ~~(depolarizing)~~ or inhibitory ~~(hyperpolarizing)~~ and, in some sensory neurons, their combined effects can depolarize the axon hillock enough to provoke action potentials.

The course of the action potential can be divided into five parts: the rising phase, the peak phase, the falling phase, the undershoot phase, and the refractory period. During the rising phase the membrane potential depolarizes ~~(becomes~~ more ~~positive)~~. The point at which [[depolarization]] stops is called the peak phase. At this stage, the membrane potential reaches a maximum. Subsequent to this, there is a falling phase. During this stage the membrane potential becomes more negative, returning towards resting potential. The undershoot, or [[afterhyperpolarization]], phase is the period during which the membrane potential temporarily becomes more negatively charged than when at rest ~~(hyperpolarized)~~. Finally, the time during which a subsequent action potential is impossible or difficult to fire is called the [[refractory period (physiology)|refractory period]], which may overlap with the other phases.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=38}}

对于处于静息状态的神经元来说，细胞外液中的钠离子和氯离子浓度高于细胞内液，而细胞内液中的钾离子浓度高于细胞外液。导致离子从高浓度移动到低浓度的浓度差，以及静电效应(相反电荷的吸引)是离子进出神经元的原因。神经元内部有一个负电荷，相对于细胞外部，来自于细胞外 k + 的运动。神经细胞膜比其他离子对 k + 的渗透性更强，使得这种离子能够选择性地离开细胞，沿着浓度梯度下降。这种浓度梯度以及神经元膜上的钾离子泄漏通道导致钾离子外流，使静息电位接近 EK ≈-75 mV。由于钠离子在细胞外的浓度较高，当钠离子通道打开时，浓度和电压的差异都驱使它们进入细胞。去极化打开了细胞膜上的钠通道和钾通道，允许离子分别流入和流出轴突。如果去极化很小(比如说，把 Vm 从 -70 mV 增加到 -60 ~~mV) ，外向的钾电流压倒内向的钠电流，膜在~~ -70 mV ~~左右重新极化回正常的静息电位。然而，当退极化足够大时，内向钠电流的增加大于外向钾电流，出现了失控(正反馈)现象~~: ~~内向钠电流越大，内向钠电流越大，反过来又进一步增加内向钠电流。足够强的去极化(Vm 的增加)使电压敏感的钠通道开放，钠的渗透性增加使~~ Vm 接近钠平衡电压 ENa ≈ + 55 mV。增加的电压依次导致更多的钠离子通道打开，这使得 Vm 更靠近 ENa。这种正反馈持续到钠离子通道完全打开，Vm 接近 ENa。Vm 和钠通透性的急剧升高与动作电位的升高相对应。

The critical threshold voltage for this runaway condition is usually around −45 mV, but it depends on the recent activity of the axon. A cell that has just fired an action potential cannot fire another one immediately, since the Na+ channels have not recovered from the inactivated state. The period during which no new action potential can be fired is called the ''absolute refractory period''.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=49}}{{sfn|Stevens|1966|pp=19–20}}{{sfnm|1a1=Bullock|1a2=Orkand|1a3=Grinnell|1y=1977|1p=151|2a1=Junge|2y=1981|2pp=4–5}} At longer times, after some but not all of the ion channels have recovered, the axon can be stimulated to produce another action potential, but with a higher threshold, requiring a much stronger depolarization, e.g., to −30 mV. The period during which action potentials are unusually difficult to evoke is called the ''relative refractory period''.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=49}}{{sfn|Stevens|1966|pp=19–20}}{{sfnm|1a1=Bullock|1a2=Orkand|1a3=Grinnell|1y=1977|1p=151|2a1=Junge|2y=1981|2pp=4–5}}

第159行：第162行：

Each action potential is followed by a [[refractory period (physiology)|refractory period]], which can be divided into an ''absolute refractory period'', during which it is impossible to evoke another action potential, and then a ''relative refractory period'', during which a stronger-than-usual stimulus is required.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=49}}{{sfn|Stevens|1966|pp=19–20}}{{sfnm|1a1=Bullock|1a2=Orkand|1a3=Grinnell|1y=1977|1p=151|2a1=Junge|2y=1981|2pp=4–5}} These two refractory periods are caused by changes in the state of sodium and potassium channel molecules. When closing after an action potential, sodium channels enter an [[Sodium channel#Gating|"inactivated" state]], in which they cannot be made to open regardless of the membrane potential—this gives rise to the absolute refractory period. Even after a sufficient number of sodium channels have transitioned back to their resting state, it frequently happens that a fraction of potassium channels remains open, making it difficult for the membrane potential to depolarize, and thereby giving rise to the relative refractory period. Because the density and subtypes of potassium channels may differ greatly between different types of neurons, the duration of the relative refractory period is highly variable.

The absolute refractory period is largely responsible for the unidirectional propagation of action potentials along axons.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=56}} At any given moment, the patch of axon behind the actively spiking part is refractory, but the patch in front, not having been activated recently, is capable of being stimulated by the depolarization from the action potential.

轴突柄处产生的动作电位沿轴突传播。当动作电位沿轴突扩散时，电流在轴突上的某一点向内流动，并使其膜的相邻部分去极化。如果足够强的话，这种去极化会在相邻的膜片上激发类似的动作电位。这一基本机制在1937年由艾伦·劳埃德·霍奇金证明。在挤压或冷却神经节段，从而阻断动作电位后，他表明，动作电位到达阻滞的一侧可以激发另一侧的动作电位，只要阻滞的节段足够短。rt.<ref name=":1" group="lower-alpha" /> *

Once an action potential has occurred at a patch of membrane, the membrane patch needs time to recover before it can fire again. At the molecular level, this ''absolute refractory period'' corresponds to the time required for the voltage-activated sodium channels to recover from inactivation, i.e., to return to their closed state.{{sfn|Stevens|1966|pp=19–20}} There are many types of voltage-activated potassium channels in neurons. Some of them inactivate fast (A-type ~~currents)~~ and some of them inactivate slowly or not inactivate at all; this variability guarantees that there will be always an available source of current for repolarization, even if some of the potassium channels are inactivated because of preceding depolarization. On the other hand, all neuronal voltage-activated sodium channels inactivate within several milliseconds during strong depolarization, thus making following depolarization impossible until a substantial fraction of sodium channels have returned to their closed state. Although it limits the frequency of firing,{{sfn|Stevens|1966|pp=21–23}} the absolute refractory period ensures that the action potential moves in only one direction along an axon.{{sfn|Purves|Augustine|Fitzpatrick|Hall|2008|p=56}} The currents flowing in due to an action potential spread out in both directions along the axon.{{sfn|Bullock|Orkand|Grinnell|1977|pp=161–164}} However, only the unfired part of the axon can respond with an action potential; the part that has just fired is unresponsive until the action potential is safely out of range and cannot restimulate that part. In the usual [[orthodromic conduction]], the action potential propagates from the axon hillock towards the synaptic knobs ~~(the~~ axonal ~~termini)~~; propagation in the opposite direction—known as [[antidromic conduction]]—is very rare.{{sfn|Bullock|Orkand|Grinnell|1977|p=509}} However, if a laboratory axon is stimulated in its middle, both halves of the axon are "fresh", i.e., unfired; then two action potentials will be generated, one traveling towards the axon hillock and the other traveling towards the synaptic knobs.

一旦膜片上的一个动作电位发生了，膜片需要时间恢复才能再次激活。在分子水平上，这个绝对不应期(性)相当于电压激活的钠离子通道从失活状态恢复到闭合状态所需的时间。神经元中存在多种类型的电压激活钾通道。其中一些快速电流(a 型电流)失活，一些慢速失活或根本不失活; 这种变化保证了总有可用的复极电流来源，即使一些钾离子通道由于先前的去极化作用而失活。另一方面，在强去极化过程中，所有神经元电压激活钠通道在几毫秒内停止活动，从而使去极化不可能发生，直到相当一部分的钠通道恢复到它们的闭合状态。虽然它限制了放电的频率，但绝对不应期(性)电位确保了动作电位沿轴突只向一个方向移动。由于动作电位的作用，电流沿轴突向两个方向扩散。然而，只有轴突未激活的部分才能作出动作电位的反应; 刚刚激活的部分是没有反应的，直到动作电位安全地超出范围，不能再次激活该部分。在通常的正向传导中，动作电位从轴突柄向突触结节(轴突终端)传导，向相反方向传导的现象非常罕见。然而，如果一个实验室的轴突在它的中间被刺激，两半的轴突都是“新鲜的”，也就是说，没有被刺激，那么两个动作电位就会产生，一个朝向轴突小丘，另一个朝向突触结节。

Action potentials cannot propagate through the membrane in myelinated segments of the axon. However, the current is carried by the cytoplasm, which is sufficient to depolarize the first or second subsequent [[node of Ranvier]]. Instead, the ionic current from an action potential at one [[node of Ranvier]] provokes another action potential at the next node; this apparent "hopping" of the action potential from node to node is known as [[saltatory conduction]].

Myelin has two important advantages: fast conduction speed and energy efficiency. For axons larger than a minimum diameter ~~(roughly~~ 1 [[micrometre]]), myelination increases the [[conduction velocity]] of an action potential, typically tenfold.<ref name="hartline_2007" group=lower-alpha /> Conversely, for a given conduction velocity, myelinated fibers are smaller than their unmyelinated counterparts. For example, action potentials move at roughly the same speed ~~(25~~ m/s) in a myelinated frog axon and an unmyelinated [[squid giant axon]], but the frog axon has a roughly 30-fold smaller diameter and 1000-fold smaller cross-sectional area. Also, since the ionic currents are confined to the nodes of Ranvier, far fewer ions "leak" across the membrane, saving metabolic energy. This saving is a significant [[natural selection|selective advantage]], since the human nervous system uses approximately 20% of the body's metabolic energy.<ref name="hartline_2007" group=lower-alpha>{{cite journal | vauthors = Hartline DK, Colman DR | title = Rapid conduction and the evolution of giant axons and myelinated fibers | journal = Current Biology | volume = 17 | issue = 1 | pages = R29-35 | date = January 2007 | pmid = 17208176 | doi = 10.1016/j.cub.2006.11.042 | s2cid = 10033356 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

The length of axons' myelinated segments is important to the success of saltatory conduction. They should be as long as possible to maximize the speed of conduction, but not so long that the arriving signal is too weak to provoke an action potential at the next node of Ranvier. In nature, myelinated segments are generally long enough for the passively propagated signal to travel for at least two nodes while retaining enough amplitude to fire an action potential at the second or third node. Thus, the [[safety factor]] of saltatory conduction is high, allowing transmission to bypass nodes in case of injury. However, action potentials may end prematurely in certain places where the safety factor is low, even in unmyelinated neurons; a common example is the branch point of an axon, where it divides into two axons.{{sfn|Bullock|Orkand|Grinnell|1977|p=163}}

These time and length-scales can be used to understand the dependence of the conduction velocity on the diameter of the neuron in unmyelinated fibers. For example, the time-scale τ increases with both the membrane resistance ''rm'' and capacitance ''cm''. As the capacitance increases, more charge must be transferred to produce a given transmembrane voltage ~~(by~~ [[capacitance|the equation ''Q'' = ''CV'']]); as the resistance increases, less charge is transferred per unit time, making the equilibration slower. In a similar manner, if the internal resistance per unit length ''ri'' is lower in one axon than in another (e.g., because the radius of the former is ~~larger)~~, the spatial decay length λ becomes longer and the [[conduction velocity]] of an action potential should increase. If the transmembrane resistance ''rm'' is increased, that lowers the average "leakage" current across the membrane, likewise causing ''λ'' to become longer, increasing the conduction velocity.

===Muscular action potentials===

The action potential in a normal skeletal muscle cell is similar to the action potential in neurons.{{sfn|Ganong|1991|pp=59–60}} Action potentials result from the depolarization of the cell membrane ~~(the~~ [[sarcolemma]]), which opens voltage-sensitive sodium channels; these become inactivated and the membrane is repolarized through the outward current of potassium ions. The resting potential prior to the action potential is typically −90mV, somewhat more negative than typical neurons. The muscle action potential lasts roughly 2–4 ms, the absolute refractory period is roughly 1–3 ms, and the conduction velocity along the muscle is roughly 5 m/s. The action potential releases [[calcium]] ions that free up the [[tropomyosin]] and allow the muscle to contract. Muscle action potentials are provoked by the arrival of a pre-synaptic neuronal action potential at the [[neuromuscular junction]], which is a common target for [[neurotoxin]]s.<ref name=Newmark group=lower-alpha />

Unlike the rising phase and peak, the falling phase and after-hyperpolarization seem to depend primarily on cations that are not calcium. To initiate repolarization, the cell requires movement of potassium out of the cell through passive transportation on the membrane. This differs from neurons because the movement of potassium does not dominate the decrease in membrane potential; In fact, to fully repolarize, a plant cell requires energy in the form of ATP to assist in the release of hydrogen from the cell – utilizing a transporter commonly known as H+-ATPase.<ref name="Opritov">Opritov, V A, et al. “Direct Coupling of Action Potential Generation in Cells of a Higher Plant (Cucurbita Pepo) with the Operation of an Electrogenic Pump.” ''Russian Journal of Plant Physiology'', vol. 49, no. 1, 2002, pp. 142–147.</ref><ref name=":2" />

The study of action potentials has required the development of new experimental methods. The initial work, prior to 1955, was carried out primarily by [[Alan Lloyd Hodgkin]] and [[Andrew Fielding Huxley]], who were, along [[John Carew Eccles]], awarded the 1963 [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] for their contribution to the description of the ionic basis of nerve conduction. It focused on three goals: isolating signals from single neurons or axons, developing fast, sensitive electronics, and shrinking [[electrode]]s enough that the voltage inside a single cell could be recorded.

动作电位的研究需要开发新的实验方法。在1955年之前，最初的工作主要是由艾伦·劳埃德·霍奇金和 Andrew Fielding Huxley 完成的，他们因为在描述神经传导的离子基础方面做出的贡献，和约翰·卡鲁·埃克尔斯一起被授予1963年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。它着重于三个目标: 从单个神经元或轴突中分离出信号，发展快速、灵敏的电子设备，以及缩小电极，使单个细胞内的电压能够被记录下来。

一些天然和人工的神经毒素被设计用来阻断动作电位。来自河豚的河豚毒素和来自沟鞭藻属的石房蛤毒素通过抑制电压敏感性钠通道来阻断动作电位; 同样地，黑曼巴蛇的树眼镜蛇毒素也会抑制电压敏感性钾离子通道。这种离子通道的抑制剂有一个重要的研究目的，它可以让科学家随意关闭特定的通道，从而分离出其他通道的贡献; 它们也可以用亲和色谱法来净化离子通道或测定它们的浓度。然而，这些抑制剂也能产生有效的神经毒素，并被认为是化学武器。针对昆虫离子通道的神经毒素一直是有效的杀虫剂，其中一个例子是合成氯菊酯，它延长了与动作电位有关的钠通道的激活。昆虫的离子通道与人类的离子通道完全不同，因此对人类几乎没有副作用。

The 20th century was a significant era for electrophysiology.
