Can Retinal Ganglion Cell Dipoles Seed Iso-Orientation Domains in the Visual Cortex?

It has been argued that the emergence of roughly periodic orientation preference maps (OPMs) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of carnivores and primates can be explained by a so-called statistical connectivity model. This model assumes that input to V1 neurons is dominated by feed-forward projectio...
