Step 1
Spatial summation occurs when multiple presynaptic neurons fire simultaneously, causing multiple EPSPs in the postsynaptic neuron. In this case, we observe two EPSPs produced by different synaptic terminals. This suggests that multiple presynaptic neurons are Show more…

19. As you are recording the activity of a neuron, you observe two EPSPs produced by different synaptic terminal. This is an example of - probably temporal summation - probably spatial summation - probably both spatial and temporal summation. - probably only algebraic summation.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) occurring at multiple synapses on the same postsynaptic neuron can add together through temporal summation the generation of substance highly branched dendrites spatial summation
Summation of postsynaptic potentials induced from more than one neuron is called: Axodendritic summation, Neurosecretory presynaptic inhibition, Spatial summation, Temporal summation.
