Integration uses a summation in the definition of the definite integral, so they are not the same, but they are related. They both yield a type of sum, or area (in the case of integration).
Integration is a special case of summation. Summation is the finite sum of multiple, fixed values. Integration is the limit of a summation as the number of elements approches infinity while a part of their respective value approaches zero.
summation is the discreet set of whole numbers whereas integration is the sum of all numbers.
When a postsynaptic neuron is stimulated by many terminals at the same time, it undergoes spatial summation. This simultaneous input from multiple presynaptic neurons can combine to reach the threshold for firing an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. This process enables integration of signals from different sources to influence the overall excitability of the neuron.
The process of adding the effects of many postsynaptic potentials is called summation. There are two types of summation: temporal summation, where postsynaptic potentials from the same presynaptic neuron add up over a short period of time, and spatial summation, where postsynaptic potentials from multiple presynaptic neurons add up at the same time. Summation ultimately determines whether an action potential will be generated in the postsynaptic neuron.
Summation, represented by sigma (Σ) is the discreet version of integration. Integration is the continuous version of summation. It can be somewhat hard to explain the difference between discreet and continuous phenomena. The best way to think about integration is as the area under a line, curve, or function. Think of a triangle formed by lines y=0, x=1,and y=x. written mathematically, this is the integral x=0 to 1 of (x). You can also calculate the area of a half unit circle. integral x=-1 to 1 of (sqrt(1-x^2)). The best way to think about summation is the adding of numbers. sum x=0 to 1 of (x) yields the equation (0+1). sum x=-1 to 1 of (sqrt(1-x^2)) yields the equation (0+1+0).
It's not. It depends on the method you use for summation whether summation > integral or integral > summation.
Horizontal integration is the merging or takeover of a company that is in the same market and at the same stage of the supply chain.
Neural integration occurs mainly in the central nervous system, particularly in structures such as the brain and spinal cord. This process involves the summation and processing of incoming signals from various sensory receptors and other neurons to generate coordinated responses.

When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron, the process is called summation. This can occur through temporal summation, where multiple impulses from the same source rapidly fire in succession, or spatial summation, where impulses from different sources converge at the same time to reach the neuron's threshold for firing.
