Descriptor sumación de potenciales postsinápticos
Entry term(s) suma de potenciales postsinápticos
sumación en neurofisiología
sumación neurofisiológica
Scope note: Integración fisiológica de múltiples señales de POTENCIAL SINÁPTICO para alcanzar el umbral e iniciar POTENCIALES DE ACCIÓN postsinápticos. En suma espacial de estímulos adicionales uniones sinápticas son reclutados para generar una respuesta s. En suma temporal señales de estímulos sucesivos se suman para alcanzar el umbral. Los potenciales postsinápticos pueden ser excitadores o inhibidores (PPSE o IPSP).

Scope note: Physiological integration of multiple SYNAPTIC POTENTIAL signals to reach the threshold and initiate postsynaptic ACTION POTENTIALS. In spatial summation stimulations from additional synaptic junctions are recruited to generate s response. In temporal summation succeeding stimuli signals are summed up to reach the threshold. The postsynaptic potentials can be either excitatory or inhibitory (EPSP or IPSP).
