0 the condition of having eyes that look in different directions from each other, caused by a weakness of the eye muscles:
Effect of strabismus on the development of vernier acuity and grating acuity in monkeys.
We should have compared columns in full siblings, raising one animal with strabismus while using the other as a normal control animal.
Two of the children had a squint, and one child had required surgery for strabismus.
However, the study provided some evidence that strabismus can induce columns to form in a species where normally they are wholly absent.
All five squirrel monkeys raised with strabismus exhibited well-developed ocular dominance columns in striate cortex of each hemisphere.
Ocular dominance column width and contrast sensitivity in monkeys reared with strabismus or anisometropia.
The second most common presenting sign is strabismus (crossed eyes).
The magnitude of strabismus was determined by measuring the decentration of the corneal light reflex from the center of the pupil.
