process by which neurons communicate with each other by changes in their membrane potentials.
AI overview
An action potential is a rapid electrical change that occurs across a neuron's membrane, allowing neurons to send signals to each other. This process is fundamental to how your nervous system works, enabling everything from thoughts and sensations to muscle movements.
