| hyperpolarization |
A mechanism by which a membrane potential is made more negative inside with respect to the outside of the cell. Hyperpolarization causes neurons and muscle cells to be electrically silent (see action potentials) and stabilize at a resting potential. Hyperpolarization is the result of moving positive charges from in to out of a cell which is usually the result of K+ ions moving out, but can also be achieved by moving Cl- ions into the cell.

| hyperpolarization |
An increase in the potential difference across the cell membrane of a neuron. Retinal photoreceptors differ from most other neurons in hyperpolarizing in response to stimuli.

| hyperpolarization |
An increase in polarization of membranes or nerves or muscle cells, the reverse change of that associated with excitatory action.

| hyperpolarization |
increasing the difference. The interior become more negative or more positive--the charge is moving away from zero in one direction or the other. This occurs after action potential.
