Plasticity of cat visual cortex

Monocular eyelid closure in kittens mimics certain visual deficits in humans that result in amblyopia ex anopsia. I have now studied the effects of monocular eyelid closure in cat upon the slow-wave response recorded from visul cortex. The pattern of changes in the response closely paralleled the ch...

Zusammenfassung:Monocular eyelid closure in kittens mimics certain visual deficits in humans that result in amblyopia ex anopsia. I have now studied the effects of monocular eyelid closure in cat upon the slow-wave response recorded from visul cortex. The pattern of changes in the response closely paralleled the changes in visual function of the amblyopic eye, in particular the suppression during binocular vision.
