Expressions Definition
Electrotonic potential In order for a neuron to fire, there are two types of electrical potentials produced. The first is a non-propagated local potential called an electrotonic potential and the second is a propagated impulse called an action potential. Neurons which are small in relation to their length, such as some neurons in the brain, have only electrotonic potentials; longer neurons utilize electrotonic potentials to trigger the action potential.
