This occurs through the delayed rectifier channel (I_DR), which, activated by the influx of Na⁺, counteracts the effect of that cation by allowing the discharge of K⁺. By repolarizing the membrane in this way, the I_DR channel restricts the duration of the nerve impulse and participates in the regulation…
