Ocular dominance columns were discovered in the 1960s by Hubel and Wiesel as part of their Nobel Prize winning work on the structure of the visual cortex in cats. Ocular dominance columns have since been found in many animals, such as ferrets, macaques, and humans. [2] Notably, they are also absent in many animals with binocular vision, such as ...
Ocular dominance columns are also found in the striate cortex. These columns were found to prefer crossing iso-orientation lines perpendicularly. During microelectrode experiments, it is normal to see penetrations where eye dominance changes between the contralateral eye and ipsilateral eye but this does not interrupt the orientation sequence. [7]
There are many types of topographic maps in the visual cortices, including retinotopic maps, ocular dominance maps and orientation maps. Retinotopic maps are the easiest to understand in terms of topography. Retinotopic maps are those in which the image on the retina is maintained in the cortices (V1 and the LGN).
Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left- handedness ; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [ 3 ]
The layers representing the deprived eye in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus are atrophied. In V1, ocular dominance columns representing the open eye are dramatically enlarged, at the expense of cortical surface area representing the sutured eye (Fig. 1 - Effect of monocular deprivation on ocular dominance columns. Light areas ...
Wong also speculated that specific parts of the visual system, such as the ocular dominance columns, require some form of electrical activity in order to develop completely. She also believed being able to figure out the signals encoded by retinal waves, may allow scientists to better understand how retinal waves play a role in retinal development.
