Neural Basis of Motor Control
... open. When they do open, potassium rushes out of the cell, reversing the depolarization. Also at about this time, sodium channels start to close. This causes the action potential to go back toward -70 mV (a repolarization). Gradually, the ion concentrations go back to resting levels and the cell ret ...
