Center-surround antagonism is a term commonly used in neuroscience to describe the processing of visual information in the brain. It refers to the interaction between the receptive fields of neurons in the center and those in the surrounding areas, which can have opposite effects on the firing of these neurons. There are several alternative terms that can be used to describe this phenomenon, such as spatial inhibition, lateral inhibition, or surround suppression. These synonyms reflect different aspects of the center-surround antagonism, and they are often used interchangeably in scientific literature. Understanding the mechanisms behind center-surround antagonism is crucial for understanding how the visual system processes information and how we perceive the world around us.
