Action potential
Summation occurs, where the two excitatory postsynaptic potentials combine to reach the threshold for firing an action potential. This can be either temporal summation, where two EPSPs from the same presynaptic neuron occur in quick succession, or spatial summation, where EPSPs from different presynaptic neurons arrive simultaneously.
The process of adding the effects of many postsynaptic potentials is called summation. There are two types of summation: temporal summation, where postsynaptic potentials from the same presynaptic neuron add up over a short period of time, and spatial summation, where postsynaptic potentials from multiple presynaptic neurons add up at the same time. Summation ultimately determines whether an action potential will be generated in the postsynaptic neuron.
When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron, the process is called summation. This can occur through temporal summation, where multiple impulses from the same source rapidly fire in succession, or spatial summation, where impulses from different sources converge at the same time to reach the neuron's threshold for firing.
The two EPSPs summate, leading to a higher membrane potential change and increasing the likelihood of an action potential being generated in the postsynaptic neuron. This phenomenon is known as temporal summation.
