Damaris Gilmore · Answer 1

"Temporal summation" is an example.

Explanation:

Temporal summation is a medical measure of fundamental sensitization in which "a increased occurrence of accomplishment potentials in the pre synaptic neuron elicits postsynaptic potentials that overlay and summate with each other. Temporal summation happens when a increased frequency of exploit potentials in the pre synaptic neuron provokes postsynaptic potentials that summate with each other. If the time continuous of the cell membrane is adequately long, as is the case for the cell body, then the quantity of summation is increased.
