Abstract

Monocular lid suture deprivation during early visual development of the cat alters the temporal flow of retinal information as it passes through the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. The latencies of Y-cells located in the deprived layers and of both X- and Y-cells in the non-deprived layers are shorter than the latencies of their counterparts in normally reared cats. The visual response onset latencies of X-cells located in the deprived geniculate layers lag those of X-cells in the non-deprived layers.
