SUMMARY
Anode Break Excitation in neuroscience refers to the phenomenon where the cessation of anodal stimulation leads to a depolarization rebound, triggering an action potential. While the anode is active, it induces hyperpolarization in neurons. The discussion highlights a resource from Yale University and a YouTube video that illustrates this concept, although it lacks a detailed explanation. Key contributor Kglocc emphasizes the importance of understanding this mechanism in neuronal firing.
