When nerve cells are at rest, there is an unequal amount of positive and negative charges on either side of a nerve cell membrane. is charge di erence is called an electrical potential. describe this “potential” when the neuron is at rest (resting

Nerve cells, also called neurons, are specialized cells for the nervous system that is responsible for movement and response system. This is done through action potentials that lets the neurons generate a electric synapse to that received stimuli.
When there is an unequal amount of charges between the sides of the neurons, this can be described as diffusion potential or the resting potential.
