Summation is an additive effect of neurons,and temporal summation occurs when a neuron receives any series of excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in sequence.Excitatory potentials enhance the response,inhibitory potentials maintain a resting potential,and excitatory plus inhibitory potentials serve to modulate the response.
