We explored the development of clustered connections in cat somatosensory cortex by using intracortical injections of biocytin and carbocyanine dye (DiI). Biocytin injections in adults revealed clusters of retrogradely labeled cells, affirming earlier reports of the patchy nature of corticocortical

The contribution of neurons containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to horizontal intrinsic projections in layers I-III of cat's striate cortex was investigated by combining GABA-immunohistochemistry with axonal tracing. After intracortical injections of Rhodamine-labelled latex microspheres Rhoda
## Abstract The present paper deals with the study of the structure of horizontal neuron chains, one of the aspects of intracortical intraneuronal relationships. The motor cortex (field 4) of cats and lower monkeys (Papio hamadryas and Macacus rhesus s. M. Mullata) was treated by the impregnating m
Single unit activity was recorded in the striate cortex of vision-deprived cats aged between 3 and 8 weeks. Contrast sensitivity or response measurements made using moving sinusoidal gratings were used to construct spatial frequency tuning curves. At 3 weeks sensitivity, selectivity (assessed both a
