| convergence nucleus of Perlia | A small cell group located between the somatic cell columns of the oculomotor nuclei. Since it is placed between the groups of motor neurons innervating, respectively, the left and right medial rectus muscles, the nucleus is considered to possibly represent an integrating mechanism for ocular convergence.

| Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction | <microscopy> An electron probe is tightly focused on a transmission electron microscopy specimen and the resulting pattern of diffracted electrons is observed. The patterns contains information on the crystal symmetry and atomic and electronic structure of the sample. Regions as small as 0.2 nm may be examined. Acronym: CBED (05 Aug 1998) |
| convergent evolution | The process where two unrelated structures in unrelated organisms evolve to perform similar functions. (The structures are called analogous structures.) For example: the wings of bats, birds, and insects evolved separately from each other but all are used to perform the function of flying. For another example: the complex eyes of vertebrates, cephalopods (squid and octopus), cubozoan jellyfish, and arthropods (insects, spiders, crustaceans) evolved separately, but all perform the function of vision.

| conversion hysteria | Hysteria characterised by the substitution, through psychic transformation, of physical signs or symptoms for anxiety; generally restricted to such major symptoms as blindness, deafness, and paralysis, or lesser ones such as blurred vision and numbness. Synonym: conversion hysteria neurosis, conversion neurosis, conversion reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
