240 turtles than in cats and ferrets.
In dark-reared ferrets, an even greater cor tical anisotropy emerged, but angle maps in these animals developed an apparently anomalous overrepresentation of near ver tical orientations.
Therefore, much of what we have learned about cellular mechanisms of visual function and development has come from studies of highly visual carnivores such as cats and ferrets.
Optically imaged maps of orientation preference in primary visual cortex of cats and ferrets.
An analysis of orientation and ocular dominance patterns in the visual cor tex of cats and ferrets.
We tested this idea by measuring the distribution of cor tical orientation preference and the degree of orientation selectivity in developing normal and dark-reared ferrets using intrinsic signal optical imaging.
Despite this variation, both across the same hemisphere and among individual ferrets, it is possible to recognize consistent features that characterize the distribution of ocular dominance domains in this species.
Retinal projections to the pretectum, accessory optic system and superior colliculus in pigmented and albino ferrets.
