February 27, 1926) was co-recipient with Torsten Wiesel of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system; the prize was shared with Roger W. Sperry for his independent research on the cerebral hemispheres.
By depriving kittens from using one eye, they showed that columns in the primary visual cortex receiving inputs from the other eye took over the areas that would normally receive input from the deprived eye.
These kittens also did not develop areas receiving input from both eyes, a feature needed for binocular vision.

Beginning in the early 1960s, they figured in experiments by Harvard researchers David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel, work so seminal that it helped net the two a Nobel Prize.
Hubel and Wiesel found that if a very young kitten's eye was temporarily sutured closed, it would never be able to regain sight in that eye, because crucial connections in the brain had not been made in time.
Their findings were some of the most important ever on how the brain is affected by experience, and they still resonate today, in laboratories and in public debate over the importance of early childhood education.
