Neuronal Communication: Electricity and Neurotransmitters
Jan 24, 2018 · Within a single neuron, information is relayed through electric signals. Ions of either positive or negative charge cross the cell membrane, creating a potential across the cell membrane. When a neuron is resting, the charge created across the membrane is called the resting potential, and is usually about -70 mV.This means that the inside of the neuron is negative compared to the outside.
