Which of the following occurs in convergence?
A)Thousands of synapses from many different presynaptic cells end on a single postsynaptic cell.
B)The axon of a nerve cell branches so that the activity in one neuron influences many other cells.
C) The dendrites all converge on the cell body.
D) The action potential initiated in the axon diminishes as it diverges into the axon terminals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convergence refers to the process where thousands of synapses from many different presynaptic cells end on a single postsynaptic cell. This allows for integration of information from different sources and can lead to graded potentials in the postsynaptic cell. The other options describe other neural processes, but not convergence.
