Neural convergence refers to the phenomenon of multiple sensory receptors giving information to a smaller number of neural cells. For example, in the retinal periphery, many photoreceptors converge on a smaller number of ganglion cells so that the brain doesn't have to process inputs from each photoreceptor.

How do rods and cones work in neural convergence?

Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina that convert light stimuli into neural signals. Because many rods converge onto a single ganglion cell, they are more sensitive to low light levels, providing black-and-white vision. Cones, on the other hand, have less convergence and are responsible for color vision and high acuity in brighter light conditions.


When Information is delivered within the CNS simultaneously by different -parts of the neural pathway is what process?
