Potential, Spike. a large and sudden change in electrical potential that accompanies excitation in nerve and muscle cells and fibers. In physiology, the term âspike potentialâ is often used as a synonym for action potential. In clinical electroencephalography spike potential refers to gross potentials reaching 10 milliseconds in duration that are outwardly similar to the action potential of a nerve.
An action potential is part of the process that occurs during the firing of a neuron. During the action potential, part of the neural membrane opens to allow positively charged ions inside the cell and negatively charged ions out. This process causes a rapid increase in the positive charge of the nerve fiber.
