Shrinkage of cells in undeprived laminae of the monkey lateral geniculate nucleus following late closure of one eye.
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.
