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 can also be called a nerve impulse which is known to be stimulated by an external stimuli or upon internal excitation. This action potential travels through a neuron and involves charged ions (the key ones are sodium ions and potassium ions) that cross the membrane barrier of the neuron.
