Spacing of ocular dominance columns is not changed by monocular deprivation or strabismus

Purpose. Many of the current models for ocular dominance column formation are based upon activity-dependent, self-organizing principles. In this class of models the degree of correlation between the two eyes' inputs drives the segregation of the inputs into ocular dominance columns. In this scheme, if the degree of correlation between the two eyes is reduced then the periodicity of the columns will increase. The degree to which these …
