The background: Normally, each eye innervates a single tectum in the frog, with no competition between the eyes. The experiment: What happens when you implant a third eye in a frog, so that two eyes are forced to innervate the same tectum? The result: ocular dominance stripes, in an animal which normally doesn&#8217;t have them. A beautifully clean demonstration that ocular dominance stripes arise from competition between the two eyes, rather than from some kind of pre-established pattern of innervation. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Constantine-Paton, M. and Law, M.I., &#8220;Eye-specific termination bands in tecta of three-eyed frogs&#8221;, Science 202 : 639-641 (1978)<\/p>\n<p>Law, M.I. and Constantine-Paton, M., &#8220;Anatomy and physiology of experimentally produced striped tecta&#8221;, Journal of Neuroscience 1 : 741-759 (1981) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via http:\/\/www.cns.caltech.edu\/~carlos\/coolpapers\/, a list of &#8216;cool scientific papers&#8217;: Jennifer Linden (neuroscientist) wrote: Here are my paper suggestions.
