An- The Process of Neural Transmission • Transmission within Cells (Action Potential) • The Neuron at rest (resting potential) • Depolarized (excited potential) when inside becomes less negative relative to resting potential. • Hyperpolarized (inhibited potential) when inside becomes more negative relative to resting potential. • Accumulation of these = Graded Potential
