Term Name: negative regulation of action potential
Synonyms: down regulation of action potential, down-regulation of action potential, downregulation of action potential, inhibition of action potential
Definition: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces 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.
