Definitions:

EPSPs

Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials are electrical charges that increase the likelihood of a neuron firing an action potential.

Temporal Summation

The summing of several postsynaptic potentials produced when a single presynaptic neuron fires multiple times

Spatial Summation

The process by which multiple synaptic potentials combine within one postsynaptic neuron, potentially leading to an action potential.

Membrane Potential

Membrane potential is the electrical potential difference across a cell's plasma membrane, critical for transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
