What does depolarization mean?
The process or state of becoming less polarized, or the reversal of polarization in a cell or tissue. In neuroscience, depolarization is the process by which a neuron becomes less negatively charged, leading to the generation of an action potential.
Example
"The researcher studied the effects of depolarization on the neural activity of the brain."
