Abstract
Apparatus might include an array of memory cells and a controller to perform access operations on the array of memory cells. The controller might be configured to establish a negative potential in a body of a memory cell of the array of memory cells, and initiate a sensing operation on the memory cell while the body of the memory cell has the negative potential. Apparatus might further include an array of memory cells, a timer, and a controller to perform access operations on the array of memory cells. The controller might be configured to advance the timer, and establish a negative potential in a body of a memory cell of the array of memory cells in response to a value of the timer having a desired value.
