The refinement of ipsilateral eye retinotopic maps is increased by removing the dominant contralateral eye in adult mice.
Shortly after eye opening, initially disorganized visual cortex circuitry is rapidly refined to form smooth retinotopic maps. This process asymptotes long before adulthood, but it is unknown whether further refinement is possible. Prior work from our lab has shown that the retinotopic map of the non...
