Three sections. Section 1: 'SPATIAL & TEMPORAL SUMMATION - A single EPSP (excitatory postsynaptic potential) rarely triggers an action potential. Spatial summation: multiple synapses firing simultaneously on one neuron add up. Temporal summation: one synapse firing rapidly adds up. IPSPs (inhibitory
