  • Title: The effect of devascularization of the visual cortex on visual function in the rabbit.
    Author: Russell IS, Hobbelen JF, Van Hof MW, Pereira SC.
    Journal: Behav Brain Res; 1984 Oct; 14(1):69-80. PubMed ID: 6440579.
    Abstract:
    The role of the visual cortex in brightness and pattern vision was re-examined in the rabbit. Animals were trained on both a brightness and a horizontal-vertical striation discrimination. Bilateral removal of the dura mater overlying the entire visual cortex produced no impairments in either brightness or pattern vision. When the visual cortex was devascularized by removal of the pia mater bilaterally, total loss of pattern vision was found with no impairment of brightness discrimination ability. The significance of the finding that the effects of slowly developing degenerative lesions are the same as those of surgical ablation was discussed.
