voltage-gated ion channel. At resting, the voltage-gated ion channel is closed and ions cannot pass. neuron stimulation -> the membrane potential will increase -> conformational change in the channel and allows ions to pass. The channel remains open briefly -> further conformational change -> inactivated by the so-called "ball and chain" portion of the protein. The channel will remain inactive and refractory for a brief period of time before returning to the active, but closed, resting position.
