What does depolarisation mean?
The process or state of becoming less polarized, or the reversal of polarization in a molecule or cell. In medicine, depolarisation can refer to the loss of the normal electrical charge across a cell membrane, often leading to muscle contraction.
Example
"The researcher studied the effects of depolarisation on the neural activity of the brain."
