Definitions:

EPSPs

Excitatory PostSynaptic Potentials, which are increases in post-synaptic membrane potential caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the post-synaptic cell, potentially leading to action potential.

Temporal Summation

A process by which multiple subthreshold excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs) combine within a brief period to produce a larger postsynaptic potential.

Spatial Summation

The process by which multiple synaptic inputs from different locations on the same neuron combine to influence the firing rate or activity of the neuron.

Dendrites

The branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body.
