Preferred Label : postsynaptic potential summation;
MeSH definition : Physiological integration of multiple SYNAPTIC POTENTIAL signals to reach the threshold
and initiate postsynaptic ACTION POTENTIALS. In spatial summation stimulations from
additional synaptic junctions are recruited to generate s response. In temporal summation
succeeding stimuli signals are summed up to reach the threshold. The postsynaptic
potentials can be either excitatory or inhibitory (EPSP or IPSP).;
