Following repolarization, the neuron may become slightly hyperpolarized before it re-establishes its resting membrane potential.

Hyperpolarization is due to a difference between how the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels work. What is this difference?

<h2>Membrane potential </h2>

Explanation:

  • Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)  
  • In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
  • Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
  • Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
  • Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
  • Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
  • Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels

A response from the amigdala. The reason for this is that when the medulla starts signalling brain regions that are in upper parts, especially the amigdala, this then triggers the fear response (amigdala is responsible for this) which in turn alerts us on a conscious level that we should leave this room for example and go to somewhere where more oxygen is present.
