Definitions:

Action Potential

A short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, facilitating neural communication.

Absolute Refractory Period

A phase during the action potential of a neuron in which it is impossible for the neuron to fire again, regardless of the strength of any incoming stimuli.

Neural Impulse

Also known as an action potential, it is the electrical signal that travels along the axon of a neuron.

Resting Potential

The electrical charge of a neuron when it is not active, representing a state of potential energy that can be used for neural communication.
