## Abstract If cats are raised with monocular lid suture, cells in dorsal lateral geniculate (DLG) laminae which receive inputs from the deprived eye are smaller than normal when the animals reach maturity. Previous studies have shown that after a critical period of development, these morphological
Is there an effect of monocular deprivation on the proportions of X and Y cells in the cat lateral geniculate nucleus?

## Abstract The generation of nerve cells for the cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus takes place between embryonic day (E) 22 and E32. Neurons generated before E28 exhibit a full range of soma sizes and morphological features, whereas neurons generated after E28 have only smaller somata and a
## Abstract In the present study the size of large samples of cells and the relative frequency of Yβcells were measured in the lateral geniculate nucleus of monocularlyβdeprived and reverseβsutured cats. Due to deprivation large cells shrink more than smaller cells. This shrinkage is irreversible e
The spike trains of X and Y retinal ganglion cell axons and neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of cats were compared to determine if the visual signal could be better discriminated from the maintained activity in the LGN relative to the retina. Curves for relative or receiver operating
We tested the hypothesis that geniculate X cells are the neural substrate of psychophysically identified pattern channels and that geniculate Y cells are the neural substrate of psychophysically identified flicker channels. The hypothesis was tested by measuring the relative sensitivity of isolated
