The action potential generated at the axon
|
hillock propagates as a wave along the axon.[59] The currents flowing inwards at a point on the axon during an action potential spread out along the axon, and depolarize the adjacent sections of its membrane. If sufficiently strong, this depolarization provokes a similar action potential …
