Document Summary
Overview passive potential that can lead to the reach of threshold where then ap will then occur. K channels they sense it and so then depolarise to renew the signal. Making a wave of ap along the axon. We stimulate the terminal fields of neurons and record the motor neurons in the brain. We can back propogate along the axon and then the soma in this axon if you inject current here the ap will move in both directions there is nothing differentating the direction. Ap is found first in the axon and later in the soma. What determines that this is the point that there is a firing. Nav 1. 6 is what we look the distributiong of these can be seen where some are more likely to be seen in particular areas at -60 there is no current low as you depolarise there is more current.
