Definitions for "Blobs"
Groups of neurons within the primary visual cortex, containing color-sensitive cells. The cells within the blobs have high numbers of mitochondria, which are revealed by staining for the mitochondrial enzyme, cytochrome oxidase.
are cytochrome oxidase-rich areas in the primary visual cortex, found predominantly in cortical layers II and III and to a lesser extent layers V and VI
Regions of primary visual cortex that contain a relatively high proportion of neurons that respond more strongly to some wavelengths than to others (wavelength selective cells) and a relatively low proportion of orientation selective cells. They receive their main input from the parvocellular system. Layers 2 and 3 of the primary visual cortex form a mosaic of blobs when stained for the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase. The regions between the blobs (interblobs) contain fewer wavelength selective cells and many orientation selective cells. The blobs are thought to be an important part of the pathway underlying color vision.

Sultana berries that have not been fully covered by oil emulsion and so have dried slowly. They have a higher moisture content than the rest of the fruit at the shaking-down stage.
