The goal of this study was to assess changes in synaptic activity in the visual cortex of kittens following brief periods of monocular deprivation. Field potentials evoked by electrical stimulation of both optic nerves were registered in vertical penetrations through areas 17 and 18 of 4-5 week-old
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
