Pressures on Ions During Resting Potential
Imagine a neuron is exposed to a substance that specifically blocks the protein pump responsible for moving three sodium ions out of the cell for every two potassium ions it moves in. Assuming ion channels still allow for some passive leakage, what would be the most likely consequence for the neuron's resting membrane potential over time?
