facilitation : Il arrive assez souvent que, à la suite d'une sommation spatiale, la membrane d'un neurone postsynaptique soit dépolarisée jusqu'au seuil d'excitation par le potentiel postsynaptique excitateur produit à plusieurs synopses excitatrices. Il en découle qu'une dépolarisation moindre permettra quand même à l'axone d'atteindre le seuil d'excitation si d'autres potentiels post-synaptiques excitateurs surviennent. C'est le phénomène de la facilitation. (Source : Anatomie et physiologie : Une approche intégrée, 1983, p. 307). 2, record 2, French, - facilitation%20neuromusculaire
