Answer:-
Temporal and spatial summation are both ways neurons integrate signals to generate an action potential. Temporal summation happens when a single neuron fires multiple times in quick succession. These repeated signals add up over time to reach the threshold for an action potential. Spatial summation, on the other hand, involves multiple neurons firing at the same time. Their combined input from different locations on the receiving neuron adds up to trigger an action potential. So, temporal summation is about timing from one source, while spatial summation is about input from many sources at once. Both help neurons process information efficiently.
