Abstract
In adult cats one eye was surgically immobilized by sectioning the eye muscles, or inverted by 180 degrees rotation, or pattern-deprived by suturing the eyelids for 1-12 weeks. Orientation and direction selectivity of cortical cells and binocularity were preserved; no shift in the ocular dominance distribution toward either eye was found. The visual cortex of adult cats is therefore not susceptible to changes in the content of the visual input.
