electrokinetic potential

(physiology) The critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential.

(mathematics) The study of harmonic functions.

(informal) Lennard-Jones potential

(neuroscience) A long-lasting (hours in vitro, weeks to months in vivo) increase, typically in amplitude, of the response of a postsynaptic neuron to a particular pattern of stimuli from a presynaptic neuron.
