A disease in a neuron’s resting potential to a point above its threshold of stimulation.
An act where several slight stimuli help a neurone to be activated.
In neurology, phenomenon that occurs when two or more impulses, individually not powerful enough to produce a response in a neuron, combine to bring about a response (action potential).
The phenomenon that occurs when a neuron receives, through a number of different synapses, impulses that are not powerful enough individually to start an ‘action potential but whose combined activity brings about some depolarization of the membrane. In this facilitated state a small additional depolarization will suffice to trigger off an impulse in the cell.
The hastening of an action or process; especially, addition of the energy of a nerve impulse to that of other impulses activated at the same time.
