'''Orientation Selective Ganglion Cells''' (OSGCs) are [[Ganglion Cell|ganglion cells]] that respond to the alignment orientation of stimuli as opposed to the direction of movement of the stimuli. The [[Cell Body|cell bodies]] of orientation selective ganglion cells are located on the vitreal side of the inner plexiform layer of the retina, however, displaced cell bodies of ganglion cells can occasionally be found in the inner margin of the inner nuclear layer. The majority of orientation selective ganglion cells are located in the [[Visual Streak|visual streak]] region of the retina. Orientation selective ganglion cells are categorized into ON-center and OFF-center cells. It has been observed that OFF-center orientation selective ganglion cells are more prevalent than ON-center orientation selective ganglion cells in the visual streak of the retina.<ref name="Levick"></ref><ref name="Venkataramani"></ref>
