Neurons that process stimuli from the same eye form clusters in the mouse visual cortex

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence have been able to demonstrate these structures in the visual cortex of mice: Here, neurons that process stimuli from the same eye form clusters.
