Definitions:

On-Center Cells

Neurons that respond with an increase in firing rates when light falls on the center of their receptive field and decrease when light falls on the surrounding areas of the field.

Off-Center Cells

Neurons, particularly in the retina, that respond to a decrease in light intensity in their center with increased activity, playing a critical role in visual contrast detection.

Blob Regions

Areas in the visual cortex characterized by their high metabolic activity and involvement in the processing of color and visual information.

Interblob Regions

Areas in the visual cortex not containing blobs, which are involved in processing information about the form and motion of objects rather than color.
