Ocular dominance columns in V1
- 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

Columns and Hypercolumns in the Visual Cortex
Imagine a neuroscientist inserts a microelectrode perpendicularly into the surface of the primary visual cortex. As the electrode is slowly advanced, it records the activity of several neurons that lie in a direct line, one after the other. All of these neurons are found to be responsive to stimuli presented in the exact same small area of the visual field. Which of the following additional properties would this specific group of neurons most likely share?
