Superimposed Hemifields in Primary Visual Cortex of Achiasmic Individuals
In the rare condition of achiasma, the visual cortex in each hemisphere receives information from both halves of the visual field. How is this “doubling” of information accommodated in V1? In this issue of Neuron, Hoffmann et al. (2012) investigate the cortical consequences of this anomaly.
