- Ocular dominance is very clear here
- Each cell responds to only one eye (monocular)
- The layers above and below respond to both eyes, but most cells prefer one

- Some cells in V1 respond equally signals to from each eye
- Some cells in V1 respond more to signals from a particular eye.
- All cells in a vertical column in V1 have the same ocular dominance
    - Respond best to the same eye
    - These columns are further organized into ocular dominance slabs
        - all cells in a slab respond best to the same eye
