| Popis: | Multi-unit responses, to free-field auditory stimuli, in the superior colliculus were investigated in guinea-pigs following earlier removal of one eye. Enucleation resulted in disruption of the normal tuning parameter values and of the topographical precision of auditory responses in the SC both ipsilateral and contralateral to the enucleated eye. These data demonstrate that monocular enucleation prevents the normal development of the superior collicular auditory space map. |
