MeSH Heading: Postsynaptic Potential Summation
Tree Number(s): G02.111.820.850.500; G04.580.887.750; G04.835.850.500; G07.265.675.887.750; G07.265.880.750.780; G11.561.570.918.750; G11.561.830.750.780
Unique ID: D059227
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D059227
Scope Note: 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).
Entry Term(s): Neurophysiology Summation; Post-Synaptic Potential Summation; Spatial Summation, Neurophysiology; Temporal Summation, Neurophysiology
