Split-chiasm cats with unilateral or bilateral lesions largely removing the commissurally connected portions of visual cortical areas 17, 18 and 19 showed good interocular transfer of monocularly learned pattern discriminations. The capacity for interocular transfer in these cats was in fact little or not different from that of split-chiasm cats with an intact cortex. Split-chiasm cats with an additional section of the forebrain commissures, as well as two split-chiasm cats with 17-18 lesions also submitted to forebrain commissurotomy after having shown good interocular transfer, were generally incapable of transferring pattern discriminations between the eyes. It is concluded that interocular transfer of pattern discriminations, in split-chiasm cats does not require areas 17, 18 and 19 and must therefore depend on other cortical areas.
患有单侧或双侧病变的交叉视束猫，其视觉皮层区域17、18和19中经连合连接的部分被大量切除，它们在单眼学习的模式辨别中表现出良好的眼间转移。实际上，这些猫的眼间转移能力与皮层完整的交叉视束猫相比，差异很小或没有差异。另外，有额外前脑连合切断的交叉视束猫，以及两只在眼间转移良好后也接受了前脑连合切断术的有17-18区病变的交叉视束猫，通常无法在两眼之间转移模式辨别。由此得出结论，交叉视束猫的模式辨别眼间转移不需要17、18和19区，因此必然依赖于其他皮层区域。
