Abstract Effects of membrane current noise on spike propagation along a nerve fiber are studied. Additive current noise and channel noise are considered by using stochastic versions of the Hodgkin-Huxley model. The results of computer simulation show that the membrane noise causes considerable variation of the propagation time of a spike (thus changes in interspike intervals) for a small unmyelinated fiber of radius 0.1∼1 μm.
