An evoked potential or evoked response is an electrical potential in a specific pattern recorded from a specific part of the nervous system, especially...

An action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell rapidly rises and falls. This depolarization then causes adjacent locations to...

The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific...

Redox potential (also known as oxidation / reduction potential, ORP, pe, E r e d {\displaystyle E_{red}} , or E h {\displaystyle E_{h}} ) is a measure...

In mathematics, the Newtonian potential or Newton potential is an operator in vector calculus that acts as the inverse to the negative Laplacian, on functions...

that EPPs are not action potentials, but that they trigger action potentials. In a normal muscular contraction, approximately 100-200 acetylcholine vesicles...

millivolts (the normal resting membrane potential in the smooth muscle fibers of the gut is between -50 and -60 millivolts). The spike potentials last 10 to...

the phenomenon in which, after the action potential of a neuron creates a voltage spike down the axon (normal propagation), another impulse is generated...

pacemaker potential (also called the pacemaker current) is the slow, positive increase in voltage across the cell's membrane (the membrane potential) that...

being dry adiabatic). Potential temperature is a useful measure of the static stability of the unsaturated atmosphere. Under normal, stably stratified conditions...

vertically averaged normal gravity: H N = C / γ ¯ {\displaystyle H^{N}=C/{\bar {\gamma }}} The average is evaluated along the normal potential's plumb line (a...

Liénard–Wiechert potentials describe the classical electromagnetic effect of a moving electric point charge in terms of a vector potential and a scalar potential in...

electrophysiology, the threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential. In neuroscience,...

In mathematical physics, scalar potential describes the situation where the difference in the potential energies of an object in two different positions...

the potential energy is a quadratic function of the normal coordinates. Solving the Schrödinger wave equation, the energy states for each normal coordinate...

In economics, a normal good is a type of a good which experiences an increase in demand due to an increase in income, unlike inferior goods, for which...
