Title
Precise Restoration of Cortical Orientation Maps Explained by Hebbian Dynamics of Geniculocortical Connections
Abstract
It is widely assumed that experience dependence and variability of the individual layout of cortical columns are the hallmarks of activity-dependent self-organization during development. Recent optical imaging studies of visual cortical development seem to indicate a lack of such intinsic variability in visual cortical development. These studies showed that orientation maps which were forced to form independently for the left and right eye exhibited a high degree of similarity in area 18 of cat visual cortex [7, 4]. It has been argued that this result must be viewed are evidence for an innate predetermination of orientation preference if orientation preference is determined by the pattern of geniculocortical connections.
