title: Shrinkage of cells in undeprived laminae of the monkey lateral geniculate nucleus following late closure of one eye.
abstract: Comparisons of mean cell area in the lateral geniculate nucleus between normal and monocularly deprived rhesus monkeys show that late closure at between 3 months and a year of age produces up to 25% shrinkage of cells in the undeprived parvocellular laminae and up to 30% shrinkage in the deprived parvocellular laminae.
