Periodicity of visual cortical modules in normal and strabismic monkeys

Purpose. Some models of visual cortical development are based on the assumption that the tangential organization of V1 is unspecified, and correlation between the two eyes' inputs drives the formation of cortical modules. In these models, correlated activity is a key element in the formation of visual cortical modularity. When this correlation is reduced, the constraint is weakened and these models predict an increase in the spacing of visual …
