Depolarization of the resting membrane potential by reduced temperature. a The axon model design. b The temperature along the axon model for the two temperature conditions. The red and blue lines represent the temperature conditions 32 °C and 20 °C respectively. c The steady state solution of the membrane potential along the axon model. Note the large depolarization occurring at the distal end of the axon model (x axis = 0)
