Depolarization
In biology, depolarization is a change in a cell`s membrane potential, making it more positive, or less negative. In neurons and some other cells, a large enough depolarization may result in an action potential. Hyperpolarization is the opposite of depolarization, and inhibits the rise of an action...

Depolarization
A decrease in the potential difference across the cell membrane of a neuron. Most neurons depolarize in response to stimulation. Found op http://tigger.uic.edu/~hilbert/Glossary.html

depolarization
a phenomenon by virtue of which all or part of the power of a radio wave transmitted with a defined polarization, no longer has any defined polarization after propagation NOTE - The term 'depolarization' is sometimes used to designate the change from a defined polarization to another defined polariz...

depolarization
Type: Term Pronunciation: dē-pō′lăr-i-zā′shŭn Definitions: 1. A relative reduction in magnitude of polarization; in nerve cells, depolarization may result from an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to sodium ions. 2. The destruction, neutralization... Found op http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=23810

depolarization
(de-po;lar-u1-za;shun) The loss of membrane polarity in which the inside of the cell membrane becomes less negative in comparison to the outside of the membrane. The term is also used to indicate the reversal of membrane polarity that occurs during the production of action potentials in nerve and m... Found op http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/abio/glossary.mhtml
