Anomalous ipsilateral retinotectal projections in syrian hamsters with early lesions: Topography and functional capacity

Retinotectal topography, response properties of neurons in superior colliculus, and visual orienting behavior were studied in hamsters whose superior colliculi were innervated by one or the other of two types of anomalous ipsilateral projections.
