Convergence occurs in the retina where up to 100 rod cells synapse with a single bipolar neuron, unlike cone cells which each synapse with a separate bipolar neuron.
- each individual cone cell synapses with a separate bipolar neurone - up to 100 rod cells synapse with the same bipolar neurone (convergence)
