Positive Afterpotential: The Hidden Pulse of Neural Recovery
Defining the Positive Afterpotential The Positive Afterpotential (PAP), also referred to in some contexts as the after-depolarization or the period following the hyperpolarizing undershoot, represents a crucial phase in the recovery cycle of an excitable cell, typically a neuron or a muscle fiber, immediately following the conclusion of an action potential spike. It is characterized […]
