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.

Sri K.
In spatial summation, (a) repeated stimuli cause new EPSPs to develop before previous ones decay (b) divergence occurs at two or more synapses (c) EPSPs and IPSPs cancel each other in the space of the axon (d) two or more EPSPs transmit a summed chemical signal (e) several closely spaced synaptic terminals release neurotransmitter simultaneously
