Answer:

The neuron will fire an action potential.

Step-by-step explanation:

A neuron is a cell in the brain that transmit signals to other nerve cells.

The depolarization of a neuron occurs when the neuron moves to a cell membrane with a more positive value which makes it more likely to fire an action potential.
