 Development of ocular dominance columns in the absence of retinal input - Nature Neuroscience
The initial establishment of ocular dominance columns in visual cortex is believed to involve the segregation of overlapping geniculocortical axons into eye-specific patches based on patterns of correlated activity.
We therefore propose that, unlike ocular dominance plasticity during the critical period, the initial establishment of ocular dominance columns relies primarily on activity-independent cues, rather than on specific patterns of correlated activity.
As an alternative to correlation-based models for ocular dominance development, we propose that axons arising from each LGN layer are molecularly distinct, and that interaction with corresponding cortical cues determines the termination pattern of each set of axons.

(1995) had claimed that ocular dominance column width is affected by abnormal visual experiences such as strabismus or amblyopia.
Horton and Hocking (1996) subsequently placed these claims into question by demonstrating that there is significant normal variability in the width of ocular dominance columns, both across individuals and with respect to eccentricity.
Mean ocular dominance column width was quantified for a large body of optical images from normal adults of three species of macaque monkey, Macaca fascicularis, Macaca mulatta, and Macaca nemestrina, and two visual eccentricity groups, 1º to 3º and 5º to 10º.

 Rapid regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA within eye-specific circuits during ocular dominance column ...
Dark-rearing throughout the critical period for ocular dominance column formation decreases levels of BDNF mRNA within primary visual cortex, whereas short-term (2 d) binocular blockade of retinal activity with tetrodotoxin (TTX) downregulates BDNF mRNA within the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and visual cortical areas.
Brief (6 hr to 2 d) monocular TTX blockade during the critical period and also in adulthood causes downregulation in appropriate eye-specific laminae in the LGN and ocular dominance columns within primary visual cortex.
In contrast, 10 d monocular TTX during the critical period does not cause a lasting decrease in BDNF mRNA expression in columns pertaining to the treated eye, consistent with the nearly complete shift in physiological response properties of cortical neurons in favor of the unmanipulated eye known to result from long-term monocular deprivation.

 ECS EPrints Service - Dissociating ocular dominance column development and ocular dominance plasticity: a neurotrophic ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Recent experimental data indicate that both neurotrophic factors (NTFs) and intracortical inhibitory circuitry are implicated in the development and plasticity of ocular dominance columns.
We extend a neurotrophic model of developmental synaptic plasticity, which previously failed to account correctly for the differences between monocular deprivation and binocular deprivation, and show that the inclusion of lateral cortical inhibition is indeed necessary in understanding the effects of visual deprivation in the model.
We thus postulate that the response to visual deprivation is at the level of the cortical circuit, while the mechanisms of afferent segregation are at the molecular or cellular level.

 Segregation of geniculocortical afferents during the critical period: a role for subplate neurons.
To investigate the cellular interactions within the mammalian visual cortex that are important in ocular dominance column formation, we have examined the role of subplate neurons in this process.
LGN axons segregate in layer 4 of the cat's visual cortex between the third and sixth postnatal weeks to give rise to the adult pattern of ocular dominance columns.
Although the mechanisms by which subplate neurons exert their effect are not yet clear, these experiments strongly suggest that interactions between LGN axons and layer 4 neurons are not sufficient for column formation, and that subplate neurons most likely play a critical role in interactions leading to ocular segregation.

Two days of MD are sufficient to cause a robust and saturating physiological plasticity as demonstrated by the loss of responsiveness of primary visual cortical neurons to deprived eye visual stimulation.
Experiments from the laboratory of Lamberto Maffei have shown that infusion of NGF into the lateral ventricle attenuates or blocks the plasticity induced by MD. Using osmotic minipumps, I have infused NGF locally directly into primary visual cortex or the basal forebrain to determine whether these brain regions are involved in mediating NGF's effects.
Ocular dominance plasticity has been assessed by single unit electrophysiology and intrinsic signal optical imaging.

More recently we have addressed the combined development of ocular dominance and orientation selectivity, showing how the orientation preferences of the two eyes can become matched despite the tendency of the two eyes to segregate from one another.
While this focuses only on the ocular dominance model, the mathematics of the orientation model is identical.
See also Wimbauer et al., 1997a and 1997b, in which this same formal model is used to study the development of direction selectivity in oriented simple cells through competition of lagged and non-lagged inputs.

These are not realy columns, they are stripes.
Since a person with a single eye doesn't have these "columns", but is able to see the world almost as well a two-eyed person, these "columns" cannot have much significance in vision in general.
A point worth mentioning is that the pattern of the stripes is variable between individuals, a fact that is rarely mentioned when ocular dominance columns are discussed.

In this project a mathematical model of ocular dominance column development proposed by [Miller et al 89] was implemented.
Recent theoretical analysis of Miller's model presented by [Dayan & Goodhill 92, Goodhill 91] suggests that by using more realistic correlations, a failure to simulate ocular dominance can be produced in Miller's model.
In this project empirical exploration of the parameter space of the model is made.

 On Demand Newsletter Jan 2003
If one eye is not used during this critical period of visual cortex development, neurons in the ocular dominance column that should receive visual information from the unused eye do not develop normally, and instead become wired to the normal eye.
Armed with knowledge of ocular dominance columns and the critical period of visual cortex development, doctors now treat strabismus early in life, well before age four, when normal vision can be restored.
When one eye is deprived of sensory information, the columns from the deprived eye shrink and the connections of the normal eye take over more than their fair share of territory, resulting in permanent visual impairment.
