  4. Hyperpolarization (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarization_(biology)

    Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative. Cells typically have a negative resting potential, with neuronal action potentials depolarizing the membrane. Cells typically have a negative resting potential, with neuronal action potentials depolarizing the membrane.

  6. Threshold potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_potential

    Hyperpolarization by the delayed-rectifier potassium channels causes a relative refractory period that makes it much more difficult to reach threshold. The delayed-rectifier potassium channels are responsible for the late outward phase of the action potential, where they open at a different voltage stimulus compared to the quickly activated ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarization

    Hyperpolarization has several meanings: Hyperpolarization (biology) occurs when the strength of the electric field across the width of a cell membrane increases Hyperpolarization (physics) is the selective polarization of nuclear spin in atoms far beyond normal thermal equilibrium

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCN_channel

    HCN4 is the main isoform expressed in the sinoatrial node, but low levels of HCN1 and HCN2 have also been reported.The current through HCN channels, called the pacemaker current (I f), plays a key role in the generation and modulation of cardiac rhythmicity, [13] as they are responsible for the spontaneous depolarization in pacemaker action potentials in the heart.
