Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integration refers to the process of summing up excitatory and inhibitory signals received by a neuron to determine whether or not to fire an action potential. Summation and potentiation are part of this process but do not encompass the entire process. Transmission refers to the propagation of action potentials along axons.
