    Nat Neurosci 13:1144-9. 2010
    ..Our results suggest that a limited pool of afferent receptive fields is available to a local population of neurons and reveal new organizational principles for the neural circuitry of the mouse visual cortex...

    Spencer L Smith
    Department of Neurobiology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 5:e9925. 2010
    ..In addition, we examined whether the increased refinement involved the recruitment of adjacent cortical area...

    J Neurophysiol 101:855-61. 2009
    ..Our findings indicate that although both contra- and ipsilateral eye pathways require visual experience for their maintenance, ipsilateral eye projections bear an additional, unique sensitivity to binocular interactions...

    Nat Neurosci 10:370-5. 2007
    ..Furthermore, these results suggest that the quality of activity, in terms of signal to noise, and not the quantity, determines robust receptive field development...
