Rendering kittens strabismic by surgical section of the medial rectus muscles results in disruption of binocular convergence in the nucleus of the optic tract. Visual input through the ipsilateral eye of strabismic cats does not influence cells in this nucleus although nearly one half of the cells encountered in normal cats receive inputs from both eyes. The results provide a basis for the deficits in optokinetic nystagmus found in strabismic cats and suggest a new mechanism underlying competition between inputs from the two eyes during postnatal development.
通过手术切断内直肌使小猫斜视，会导致视束核中双眼会聚的中断。斜视猫同侧眼的视觉输入不会影响该核中的细胞，尽管在正常猫中近一半的细胞接受来自双眼的输入。这些结果为斜视猫中视动性眼球震颤的缺陷提供了基础，并提示了出生后发育过程中双眼输入之间竞争的一种新机制。
