Functional Modification of the Developing Visual System

“… neurons develop in two complementary modes, which together permit all possible neuronal functions to be represented: functions that are innately predetermined as well as those that develop as a result of individual experience. In the first mode of development, neurons can express their functions only in a predetermined way as highly predictable patterns of behavior which are characteristic of each species. In the second mode of development neurons form populations with such diverse potentials that all possible contingencies of function can be realized… From this plenum formarum some neuronal functions and not others will be actualized” (Jacobson, 1974, p. 152).
