Convergence of information refers to the process by which multiple sensory inputs are combined and processed by a single neuron. In the retina, information from multiple photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) converge onto a single bipolar cell, which in turn converges onto a single ganglion cell. This process enables the retina to compress visual information and send it to the brain for further processing.
