Temporal summation
Temporal summation refers to cumulative effect as a result of repeated synaptic stimulation within a brief time.
Temporal summation also refers to a change in the membrane potential produced by the addition of two (2) or more inputs, occurring at different times, that is, inputs are added together to produce a potential change that is greater than that caused by a single input.
