What is a polarized membrane of the nerve cell?

As in all cells, the cell membrane of a neuron is polarized. This means that there is an electrical difference across the cell membrane. The polarization of a cell can be measured by putting a very thin electrode inside a cell, as illustrated in Figure 3. read more
