Abstract:
:The functional consequences of interrupting in utero binocular interactions were studied by recording from single cells in area 17 of adult cats that had one eye removed at least 2 wk before birth. In these animals all cortical neurons could be driven by the remaining eye, and in tangential microelectrode penetrations, sequences of neurons containing a full 180-degree cycle of preferred orientations were encountered. Other response properties of cortical neurons in the prenatally enucleated animals were also normal with the notable exception that the dimensions of receptive fields were significantly smaller when compared with those of control animals. Our results indicate that orientation columns in the visual cortex can develop independently of ocular dominance columns, and they suggest that interruption of binocular interactions during prenatal development of the visual pathways may enhance the resolving power of the remaining eye.
