Sensory experience modifies feature map relationships in visual cortex

Sensory experience modifies feature map relationships in visual cortex

The extent to which brain structure is influenced by sensory input during development is a critical but controversial question. A paradigmatic system for studying this is the mammalian visual cortex. Maps of orientation preference (OP) and ocular dominance (OD) in the primary visual cortex of ferret...
