| Abstract: | Five cats monocularly deprived by lid suture between 2 and 3 weeks of age were used experimentally between the ages of 16 and 52 weeks. An intraocular injection of horseradish peroxidase was used to reveal the individual C laminae (C, C1, C2) in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. Soma size measurements of cells in the C laminae showed significant differences between cells in the deprived layers C and C1 and the corresponding nondeprived layers, but not between cells in deprived and nondeprived layer C2. |
