### Activity 4: Integration

1. **Add Synapses:**
   - In the settings, add (+) 3 synapses to the neuron. Ensure all synapses are EPSP.

2. **Create Simulation:**
   - Click on "Create Simulation."

3. **Run the Simulation:**
   - Press the play button (▶️).

4. **Record Voltage:**
   - Note the membrane voltage value.

5. **Access Settings:**
   - Click on the back button to access the settings menu.

6. **Modify Synapse 1:**
   - In the settings, change Synapse 1 to IPSP and adjust the number of receptors to 5.

7. **Repeat:**
   - Repeat steps 2-5.

#### Observations:

| Synapse 1        | Synapse 2        | Synapse 3        | Max Axon Hillock Voltage (mV) | Is an action potential fired? (yes/no) |
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| EPSP / 20 receptors | EPSP / 20 receptors | EPSP / 20 receptors | -70.208 mV                       | Yes                                |
| IPSP / 5 receptors  | EPSP / 20 receptors | EPSP / 20 receptors | -78.972 mV                       | Yes                                |

#### Questions:

15. **Post-Synaptic Neuron Firing:**
   - In which area of a post-synaptic neuron is an action potential fired? Why?

16. **Temporal vs. Spatial Summation:**
   - Explain the difference between temporal and spatial summation.

17. **Type of Summation:**
   - Which of the above types is present in this experiment?

18. **Changing Experimental Parameters:**
   - Given that Synapse 1 causes IPSPs, state two experimental parameters that you would change, so that an action potential was possible.
