Which unintended outcome occurs when a neuron's sodium channels activate improperly during repolarization?

💡 Explanation

Sodium channel malfunction during repolarization causes prolonged refractory period due to inactivation because the channels remain closed longer, therefore preventing immediate reactivation rather than allowing the neuron to fire another action potential immediately.
