The higher the degree of convergence in neural circuits:
A) the higher the number of one-to-one pattern of RGC and photoreceptor connections.
B) the lower the response to dim light.
C) the more the circuit supports visual acuity.
D) the more the circuit supports sensitivity to dim light.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Higher degrees of convergence in neural circuits, particularly in the context of the visual system, enhance sensitivity to dim light by pooling signals from multiple photoreceptors onto a single retinal ganglion cell, thus amplifying weak light signals.
