POINT!
| When the negative resting intracellular potential is smaller (larger), less (more) stimulation is needed for action potential generation, making the cell less (more) stable. |
video: Flash（Win, Mac） / MP4（iPad）
When the resting membrane potential is increased, more stimulus is needed to reach the firing level. This means that the
stability is increased.
When the resting membrane potential is <decreased, less stimulus is needed to reach the firing level. This means that the stability is decreased.
