Answered by GPT-4o mini
An action potential at the **axon hillock** zone causes sodium to diffuse into the cell. The axon hillock is the region where the action potential is typically initiated, leading to a rapid influx of sodium ions (Na+) through voltage-gated sodium channels, resulting in depolarization of the neuron.
