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.

神经传导也可以通过电突触发生。由于可兴奋细胞之间以缝隙连接的形式存在直接联系，动作电位可以从一个细胞直接传递到下一个细胞。离子在细胞之间的自由流动使得非化学介导的快速传输成为可能。整流通道确保动作电位通过电突触向一个方向移动。电突触存在于所有神经系统中，包括人脑，尽管它们只是少数。

The [[amplitude]] of an action potential is independent of the amount of current that produced it. In other words, larger currents do not create larger action potentials.

动作电位的幅度与产生动作电位的电流量无关。换句话说，更大的电流不会产生更大的动作电位。因此，动作电位被称为全或无信号，因为它们要么完全发生，要么根本不发生。<ref name="Sasaki" group="lower-alpha" /><ref name="Aur" group="lower-alpha" /><ref name="Aur, Jog" group="lower-alpha" /> 这与受体电位不同，受体电位的振幅取决于刺激的强度。在这两种情况下，动作电位的频率都与刺激的强度相关。

===Sensory neurons 感觉神经元===

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. Some examples in humans include the [[olfactory receptor neuron]] and [[Meissner's corpuscle]], which are critical for the sense of [[olfaction|smell]] and [[somatosensory system|touch]], respectively. However, not all sensory neurons convert their external signals into action potentials; some do not even have an axon.{{sfnm|1a1=Bullock|1a2=Orkand|1a3=Grinnell|1y=1977|1pp=53|2a1=Bullock|2a2=Orkand|2a3=Grinnell|2y=1977|2pp=122–124}} Instead, they may convert the signal into the release of a [[neurotransmitter]], or into continuous [[receptor potential|graded potentials]], either of which may stimulate subsequent neuron（s） into firing an action potential. For illustration, in the human [[ear]], [[hair cell]]s convert the incoming sound into the opening and closing of [[stretch-activated ion channel|mechanically gated ion channels]], which may cause [[neurotransmitter]] molecules to be released. In similar manner, in the human [[retina]], the initial [[photoreceptor cell]]s and the next layer of cells （comprising [[bipolar cell]]s and [[horizontal cell]]s） do not produce action potentials; only some [[amacrine cell]]s and the third layer, the [[Retinal ganglion cell|ganglion cell]]s, produce action potentials, which then travel up the [[optic nerve]].

In sensory neurons, action potentials result from an external stimulus. However, some excitable cells require no such stimulus to fire: They spontaneously depolarize their axon hillock and fire action potentials at a regular rate, like an internal clock.

In some cases, the regulation of frequency can be more complex, leading to patterns of action potentials, such as [[bursting]].

在感觉神经元中，动作电位来自外部刺激。然而，一些易激活的细胞不需要这样的刺激就可以激活: 它们自发地使轴突突起去极化，并以一个规律的速率激活动作电位，就像一个内部的时钟。这种细胞的电压痕迹称为起搏电位。心脏窦房结的心律调节器细胞就是一个很好的例子le.<ref name="noble_1960" group="lower-alpha" />。虽然这种起搏器电位具有自然节律，但它可以通过外部刺激进行调节; 例如，药物以及交感神经和副交感神经发出的信号可以改变心率。外部刺激不会引起细胞的反复放电，只是改变了它的放电时间。在某些情况下，频率的调节可能更加复杂，导致动作电位的模式，如爆发。
