The frontal lobe contains most of the dopamine-sensitive neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopamine system is associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation. Dopamine tends to limit and select sensory information arriving from the thalamus to the forebrain.
Na + concentration is lowered, indicating that Na + in-flux is responsible for the rising phase of the action po-tential. Their data also suggested that the falling phaseof the action potential was caused by a later increase inK+ permeability.
Action potential and Na+. It is a fact that Na+ ions cross the membrane and enter the cell during the rising phase of the action potential. The process happens because Na ions channels are open. Then the ions channels becomes inactivated/closed for a while. What happens to the Na+ ions that entered the cell?
