excitabilitythe
Excitability is a fundamental property of living cells, particularly neurons, that refers to their ability to generate electrical signals in response to stimuli. This property is crucial for the transmission of information within the nervous system. Excitability is typically measured by the threshold voltage required to initiate an action potential, the smallest electrical signal that can trigger a neuron to fire.
The excitability of a neuron can be influenced by various factors, including the concentration of neurotransmitters,
Excitability is not a static property but can change dynamically in response to environmental and internal
The study of excitability is a key area in neuroscience, as it provides insights into the mechanisms
