Alteration of cortical orientation selectivity: importance of asymmetric input

B Gordon, J Presson, J Packwood, and R Scheer

Rearing cats so that each of the two eyes sees stripes of a different orientation alters the orientation preference of visual cortex cells. This result can be obtained by rearing the cats in striped cylinders or with goggles attached to their faces, but a tighter control of orientation preference is achieved by the goggles.
