bp(GO:"membrane depolarization")
It has long been recognized that nAChR activation in mammalian sympathetic neurons induces the opening of a nonselective cation channel that leads to Na+ influx, membrane depolarization, and consequently activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (92, 119). PubMed:19126755
In the rat CA3 region, spontaneous activation of GABA A receptors produces giant depolarizing potentials, whose frequency is controlled by α7∗ and non-α7 nAChRs. PubMed:17009926
Nicotinic receptor activity causes depolarization, and the divalent cation perme- ability plays an important physiological role by supplying ionic signals, including calcium (39–41). PubMed:17009926
In addition, nAChR activity produces a depolarization that activates voltage-gated calcium channels in the presynaptic terminal (87). PubMed:17009926
Activation of nAChRs on distal apical dendrites depolarizes the cell and promotes action potential firing PubMed:17009926
While nAChR activity causes depolarization, the divalent cation permeability plays an impor- tant physiological role by supplying ionic signals, including calcium (Bertrand, Galzi, Devillers-Thiery, Bertrand, & Changeux, 1993b; Dani & Bertrand, 2007; Decker & Dani, 1990; Gray, Rajan, Radcliffe, Yakehiro, & Dani, 1996; McGehee, Heath, Gelber, Devay, & Role, 1995; Vernino et al., 1992).

In primary neuronal cells, exposure to Aβ25-35 peptide increase NF-κB mediated transactivation of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), suppress peroxinitrite production and inhibit membrane depolarization, thereby preventing apoptosis induced by oxidative stress PubMed:25652642
In addition, nAChR activity produces a depolarization that activates voltage-gated calcium channels in the presynaptic terminal (87). PubMed:17009926
ChAT activity is regulated by neuronal depolarization, influx of Ca2+ and phosphorylation of the enzyme by a wide variety of protein kinases PubMed:26813123
When cholinergic neurons are depolarized, ACh is exocytosed from synaptic vesicles and released into the synaptic cleft, where it can activate both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors PubMed:26813123
It is possible that the presence of CHT1 in the membrane of synaptic vesicles and the consequent increase in CHT1 relocation to the plasma membrane following neuronal depolarization could explain why an increase in neuronal firing promotes increased choline reuptake and, thus, ACh synthesis PubMed:26813123
A number of physiological stimuli including membrane depolarization or glutamergic signal transduction lead to rapid activation of the inducible NF-κB localized in the synapses, cytoplasm and dendrites of the neurons PubMed:25652642
