Document Summary

Induction of the neural plate (cid:131) neural proliferations (cid:131) migration and aggregation (cid:131) aon growth and synapse formation (cid:131) neuron death and synapse rearrangement. Migration and aggregation (cid:120) migration: during this period the cells are still in an immature form. They struck forward, thus indicating that their visual world had been rotated like their eyes: frogs whose eyes had been rotated, but whose optic nerves had into been cut, responded in exactly the same way. In many species, ocular dominance columns in layer iv of the primary visual cortex are almost fully developed at birth.
