RMP OF POSTSYNAPTIC NEURON=-70mV
TOTAL POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL BY PRESYNAPTIC NEURONS= (2mV*14)+ (-9mV)=28mV-9mV=19 mV
So,the postsynaptic neuron would depolarize and action potentials would be produced.
This is an example of spatial summation. The effect produced by a particular neuron to be able to achieve an action potential is referred to temporal summation whereas, spatial summation is the method of achieving an action potential in a neuron which receives input from several cells. In this case involvement of 15 presynaptic neurons makes it an example of spatial summation.

A neuron has a resting membrane potential of -70 mV; it’s trigger threshold for firing an action potential is -50 mV. Two competing signals arrive simultaneously in the trigger zone: one is a depolarizing stimulus of +40 mV, the other a hyperpolarizing stimulus of -25 mV. Will the neuron fire an action potential after integrating these signals? Why?
