  • Title: On the question of neuronal plasticity in the mature visual cortex.
    Author: Yinon U.
    Journal: Arch Ital Biol; 1978 Sep; 116(3-4):325-9. PubMed ID: 749711.
    Abstract:
    In adult cats one eye was surgically immobilized by sectioning the eye muscles, or inverted by 180 degrees rotation, or pattern-deprived by suturing the eyelids for 1-12 weeks. Orientation and direction selectivity of cortical cells and binocularity were preserved; no shift in the ocular dominance distribution toward either eye was found. The visual cortex of adult cats is therefore not susceptible to changes in the content of the visual input.
