You discover a drug that prevents voltage-gated Na+ channel inactivation gates from opening when they are closed but has no effect on inactivation gates when they are open. What would happen to the action potential in a neuron exposed to this drug? Explain your answer. Assume the neuron is at resting membrane potential (e. g., -70 mV) at the time it is exposed to the drug.
