Blob (visual system): Overview, Related Topics & Entities

Blobs are sections of primary visual cortex (V1) above and below layer IV where groups of neurons sensitive to color assemble in cylindrical shapes. They were first identified in 1979 by Margaret Wong-Riley in cats when she used a cytochrome oxidase stain, from which they get their name. These areas receive input from koniocellular cells in the dorsal…
