This is question is in regards to Bio 30. If two axons are activated at the same time, will one axon inhibit or increase the effect of the other axon? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks kindly.

I think you may get a summative effect.

Summation is the process by which dendrites combine depolarization (excitation) and hyperpolarization (inhibition), which the synapses from thousands of other neurons produce. Each active synapse contributes a tiny graded effect. These individual tiny graded effects add up (sum) to produce the overall change in polarization that you observe.
