Summation of postsynaptic potentials induced from more than one neuron is called: Axodendritic summation, Neurosecretory presynaptic inhibition, Spatial summation, Temporal summation.

If a single type of neurotransmitter, released simultaneously by many different neurons onto the same downstream neuron, causes far more K+ channels than Na+ channels to open in this downstream neuron, then which of the following should occur as a result? Hint: Review what the opening of K+ and Na+ trigger during an action potential. [mark all correct answers] a. EPSPs b. spatial summation c. IPSPs d. hyperpolarization e. depolarization f. temporal summation
