The steady electrical potential difference across an unstimulated cell membrane (inside negative relative to outside). For a typical mammalian neuron it is about −70 mV; for skeletal muscle about −90 mV. It is the baseline from which every action potential, synaptic event and receptor response is generated, so it is foundational physiology. The resting membrane potential (RMP) is the voltage measured inside a livi
