repolarized
Reset membrane potential
Repolarized means restored to a polarized state after depolarization.
The term appears most often in physiology, where cells repolarize after firing—a nerve or muscle cell returns to its resting electrical charge: The cardiac muscle repolarized between beats.
More broadly, anything that regains its polarity or polar alignment has repolarized.
