Action potential propagation begins (is first generated at) what region of a neuron?
1 answer:
The beginning of an action potential triggers close to the presynaptic cell's soma and the impulse's axonal propagation to presynaptic terminals.
Action potentials' fidelity, timing, and waveform during their transmission and arrival at the presynaptic terminal influence critical aspects of the synchronisation and effectiveness of synaptic communication at glutamate synapses in glutamate transmission.
Voltage-gated sodium conductances are crucial for initiating and spreading action potentials in neurons. Within milliseconds, voltage-gated sodium channels are activated and deactivated. Sodium channels open as the cell membrane becomes depolarized, causing an influx of sodium ions to depolarize the membrane further.
