Term Name: positive regulation of action potential
Synonyms: activation of action potential, stimulation of action potential, up regulation of action potential, up-regulation of action potential, upregulation of action potential
Definition: Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of action potential creation, propagation or termination. This typically occurs via modulation of the activity or expression of voltage-gated ion channels.
