N2 - In five normal cats, 70.7% of the neurons recorded from the visual cortex responded to binocular stimulation; only 27.2% of the neurons in 12 cats raised with convergent squint and 63.6% of neurons in four cats with divergent squint displayed binocularity. In cats with convergent squint, 15% of the neurons showed normal receptive fields through one eye and nonconnected scattered receptive fields through the nondominant eye; however, movement detection, velocity discrimination and unidirectionality were retained. Furthermore, 65.2% of the monocular neurons were found to react through the normal eye and the rest through the squinting eye. While 1.7% of cortical neurons did not respond to any visual stimulus in normal cats, it was 3.9% in cats with convergent squint.
