repolarised
Restored electrical balance
Repolarised is the British spelling of repolarized, the past tense of repolarise.
In physiology, a cell membrane repolarises when it returns to its resting electrical state after firing—particularly nerve and muscle cells after transmitting a signal.
In broader use, something repolarised has regained opposing poles or returned to a polarised condition: The debate repolarised after the scandal broke.
