🍔 Real-world example: Imagine a restaurant (our postsynaptic neuron) getting food deliveries (messages) from multiple delivery drivers (the presynaptic neurons). They all want to deliver their food to that one restaurant!
🌊 Real-world example: To create a big wave in a pool, you either need one person making repeated jumps, or multiple people jumping in at once.
🎈 Real-world example: Think of a balloon race. Excitatory neurotransmitters are trying to inflate the balloon (reach threshold potential) while inhibitory neurotransmitters are letting air out. The balloon will only fly if it's more inflated than deflated.
