Abstract:
Mononuclear enucleation was performed in rats at birth. The animals were raised and from the age of 3 months the evoked activity was tested in the contralateral visual cortex both by mapping of evoked potentials and autoradiography. It was found that monocular enucleation changed the distribution of evoked activity characteristically. The focus of activity shifted laterally and restricted itself to the binocular part of the primary visual cortex (Oc1B), while, in the medial part of it (Oc1M) hardly any evoked activity or labelled neurons were found
