Summation occurs when a neuron receives input from many other neurons, both excitatory (EPSP) and inhibitory (IPSP); the neuron's overall response depends on the net effect of these inputs.
One neuron can receive input from thousands of other neurons and some are EPSP and some are IPSP. <div>The neuron's response depends on whether the net input is excitatory or inhibitory </div>
