Cats that sustain lesions of the visual cortex early in life appear to perform certain visual discrimination tasks better than those operated as adults. This study sought to determine whether this recovery is visual capacities was accompanied by reorganization of single cell responses at the level o

Responses to texture motion (visual noise) were investigated in the superior colliculus of paralysed cats, lightly anaesthetized with N2O/O2 supplemented with pentobarbitone or Althesin. Within the superficial layers two classes of texture-sensitive neurones were found: Type I units with weak respon
Cats were reared in a visual environment in which irregularly-shaped patches of luminescent paint moved constantly leftward. The distribution of preferred directions and orientations of cortical neurons in these cats was examined. Most cortical neurons encountered had leftward components in their pr
