Abstract

direction selectivity rabbit stroboscopic rearing visual cortex
Rabbits reared from birth in stroboscopic illumination have no experience of visual motion. In primary visual cortex of these animals there is a large reduction in the number of cells which are direction selective. This result, contrary to previous reports, shows that the rabbit visual system can be modified by early visual experience.
