Subject Lateral Geniculate Nucleus; Ocular Dominance Columns; Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor; Activity-Dependent Synaptic Competition; Visual Cortex
Description During the development of the visual system of higher mammals, axons from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) become segregated into eye-specific patches (the ocular dominance columns) within their target, layer 4 of the primary visual cortex. This occurs as a consequence of activity-dependent synaptic competition between axons representing the two eyes.
