The relative effectiveness of the two eyes in exciting cells in the visual cortex was assessed, using both natural stimulation and electrical stimulation of the optic discs. It is is argued that supramaximal electrical stimulation of the optic nerve could possibly reveal 'subliminal' synaptic inputs
Two independent series of experiments were performed on 114 male Sprague-Dawleyderived, albino rat pups, which represented 61 litters in experimental series I and 53 litters in experimental series 11. Animals were exposed for 20 h/day from conception to testing (postnatal days 11-20) to a vertical,
