In a short space of time, the same synapse repeatedly influences a postsynaptic nerve. This is an example of: Presynaptic facilitation Postsynaptic facilitation Temporal summation Spatial summation None of the above
What is temporal summation? A process during which a presynaptic action potential triggers a small EPSP in a postsynaptic neuron A process during which the same synapse fires action potentials in quick succession and individual EPSPs add together A process during which two or more presynaptic inputs are active at the same time, triggering a small EPSP in a postsynaptic neuron
