title: The effects of monocular deprivation on the visual latency of geniculate X- and Y-cells in the cat.
abstract: Monocular lid suture deprivation during early visual development of the cat alters the temporal flow of retinal information as it passes through the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. The latencies of Y-cells located in the deprived layers and of both X- and Y-cells in the non-deprived layers are shorter than the latencies of their counterparts in normally reared cats. The visual response onset latencies of X-cells located in the deprived geniculate layers lag those of X-cells in the non-deprived layers.
