Question

Integrating (combining) many synaptic inputs over space (surface area of the plasma membrane) is called _____

Answer 1

Spatial summation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Summation may be defined as the process of the process of adding of the different stimulus and has the ability to generate the action potential. Two main types of summation are temporal summation and spatial summation.

The spatial summation determines the effect that are responsible for the generation of the action potential from the presynaptic neurons. This summation combines the different stimuli on the different neurons over a particular space. The excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) are involved in the spatial summation.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - spatial summation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spatial summation is the is the effect or impact of triggering an action potential in a neuron from many synaptic inputs or one or more presynaptic neurons. It takes place due to the multiple post synaptic potential starts simultaneously and a different part of neuron.

Thus, the correct answer is - spatial summation.
