Difference between Action potential and Plateau potentials

Action potential vs. Plateau potentials

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise. Plateau potentials, caused by persistent inward currents (PICs), are a type of electrical behavior seen in neurons.

Similarities between Action potential and Plateau potentials

Action potential and Plateau potentials have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Depolarization, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neuron.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
