Depolarization occurs when sodium channels open in response to a signal from the dendrite, allowing passive sodium influx and reaching a membrane potential of +30 mV.
Canal sodique ouvert en réponse à un signal initié au niveau de la dendrite, afflux passif de sodium, potentiel de membrane à +30 mV.
