Hodgkin cycle

Hodgkin cycle
a regenerative, circular sequence of events between depolarization and permeability to sodium occurring in excitable cells: depolarization increases permeability to sodium, thus increasing the entry of sodium (Na+) into the cell, and the increased concentration of Na+ further depolarizes the membrane.
