Answer: True

Explanation:

It is true because Voltage-gated sodium channels are ion channels found in the membranes of neurons, specifically at the initial segment or axon hillock. These channels are responsible for generating and propagating action potentials, which are electrical signals that allow neurons to communicate with each other.
