True or False: The voltage-gated potassium channels close before the membrane potential is brought back to its resting level.

True. Voltage-gated potassium channels typically close after the membrane potential has peaked and begins to repolarize, but they often remain open a bit longer, leading to a brief phase of hyperpolarization where the membrane potential falls below its resting level before returning to baseline. This is part of the action potential process.
