Monocular deprivation is an experimental technique used by neuroscientists to study central nervous system plasticity.Generally, one of an animal's eyes is sutured shut during a period of high cortical plasticity (4–5 weeks-old in mice (Gordon 1997)).
A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat ...
The stray cat was ready to tussle. The footage shows the cat keeping one eye out for trouble. And boy did it find him. It appears that one of the kitty's fur-siblings was trying to get into it ...
In domestic chicks and other species of birds exhibiting USWS, one eye remained open contra-lateral (on the opposite side) to the "awake" hemisphere. The closed eye was shown to be opposite the hemisphere engaging in slow-wave sleep. Learning tasks, such as those including predator recognition, demonstrated the open eye could be preferential. [8]
White cats having one blue and one other-colored eye are called "odd-eyed" and may be deaf on the same side as the blue eye. [16] This is the result of the yellow iris pigmentation rising to the surface of only one eye, as blue eyes are normal at birth before the adult pigmentation has had a chance to express itself in the eye(s).
Tiki, a 20-year-old blind cat from New England, was rescued by Good Samaritans after floating on a piece of ice on a Massachusetts lake and falling in on Dec. 16, 2024.
Domestic cat with complete heterochromia, also referred to as an odd-eyed cat. Eye color, specifically the color of the irises, is determined primarily by the concentration and distribution of melanin. Although the processes determining eye color are not fully understood, it is known that inherited eye color is determined by multiple genes ...
