Abstract
ABSTRACT Considerable insights have been gained into the functioning of the central nervous system by the tradition of recording from single neurons in the visual pathway developed over the past twenty years. This work has shown that the orientation, spatial frequency and binocular disparity of visual stimuli are more important for single neuronal function than the intensity or wavelength of the light stimulus. The role of visual experience has been shown to be essential for the development of normal cortical function in many animals including man, and is confined to a ‘critical’ postnatal period. This paper extends the relevance of these findings to the development of binocular vision in the owl, whose developing visual system also requires the two parameters for visual stimulation of orientation and binocularity.
