Refinement and maintenance of receptive field size in primary visual cortex occurs without visual experience in mice

2026-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A critical step in visual cortical maturation is refinement of receptive field (RF) size, producing higher acuity vision. This was previously studied using species with well-developed vision (e.g., carnivores, primates), in which visual experience was necessary for refinement but not maintenance of RFs in visual cortex. In contrast, in Syrian hamsters, a crepuscular species with low visual acuit...
