Abstract
Ablation of visual cortical areas 17 and 18 in neonatal and young adul t cats induces novel retinal projections to terminate bilaterally in t he lateral posterior nucleus (LP) at a position ventromedial from the medial interlaminar nucleus. Comparison with the visual-field maps of LP indicate that the terminations are focussed on the representation o f the visual-field center.
