Answer:

Convergence

Step-by-step explanation:

Convergence refers to the condition when axons present in different location in nervous system contact the same neuron. It is a synaptic arrangement wherein synaptic end bulbs of many pre-synaptic neurons contact the one post synaptic neuron. The process of convergence serves to result in strong inhibition or stimulation of the post synaptic neuron.
