Definitions:

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.

Oligodendrocyte

A type of glial cell that forms myelin sheaths around neurons in the CNS.

Myelin Sheath

A fatty layer surrounding nerve fibers, which increases the speed at which electrical impulses propagate along the nerve cell.
