Define spatial summation
Solution
Some neurons are innervated by many other neurons. Whether the post-synaptic neuron will
achieve a threshold action potential or not may be determined by the summation of the action
potentials received at any given time from the individual pre-synaptic neurons. This is called
spatial summation.
Spatial summation is defined as sensory summation that involves stimulation of several spatially
separated neurons at the same time 1.
