ESSAYS ON APS CLASSIC PAPERS

Pioneers of cortical plasticity: six classic papers by Wiesel and Hubel

McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Department of Brain and Cognitive Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts

ABSTRACT

This essay looks at six APS classic papers published by D. H. Hubel and T. N. Wiesel that first identified a developmental critical period for environment influenced receptive field plasticity in the visual pathway. These classic papers are freely available online. These are listed here, in chronological order.

Wiesel TN, Hubel DH.: Effects of visual deprivation on morphology and physiology of cells in the cat's lateral geniculate body. J Neurophysiol 26: 978–993, 1963 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/26/6/978).

Hubel DH, Wiesel TN.: Receptive fields of cells in striate cortex of very young, visually inexperienced kittens. J Neurophysiol 26: 994–1002, 1963 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/26/6/994).

Wiesel TN, Hubel DH.: Single-cell responses in striate cortex of kittens deprived of vision in one eye. J Neurophysiol 26: 1003–1017, 1963 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/26/6/1003).

Wiesel TN, Hubel DH.: Comparison of the effects of unilateral and bilateral eye closure on cortical unit responses in kittens. J Neurophysiol 28: 1029–1040, 1965 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/28/6/1029).

Hubel DH, Wiesel TN.: Binocular interaction in striate cortex of kittens reared with artificial squint. J Neurophysiol 28: 1041–1059, 1965 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/28/6/1041).

Wiesel TN, Hubel DH.: Extent of recovery from the effects of visual deprivation in kittens. J Neurophysiol 28: 1060–1072, 1965 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/28/6/1060).
