A depolarizing graded potential?

A depolarizing graded potential is a change in membrane potential that makes the inside of the cell less negative. This can occur due to the influx of positively charged ions such as sodium into the cell. Depolarizing graded potentials are involved in generating action potentials in excitable cells.
