Removal of one eye before birth permanently changes the cellular organization and synaptic connectivity of visual centers in the primate brain. The most notable alterations are (i) the lateral geniculate nucleus develops only two cellular layers and one interlaminar fiber band instead of the normal six layers and five bands, (ii) aberrant synaptic connections are formed between the intact eye and the geniculate neurons that have lost their normal input, and (iii) ocular dominance columns fail to develop in the visual cortex.
