(voltage) generated between
these two sides? What is that
voltage called?

As in most cells region just outside
the of the neuron plasma
presents a positive electrical
in relation to the just
inside that thus negative.

The normal (at ) potential difference
across the membrane is about –
mV (millivolts). This voltage called
the resting potential the neuron.
