Scalar measures of ocular dominance and monocularity in optical maps of visual cortex.

Mean ± SEM optical CBIs and MIs are shown for all analyzed hemispheres. The number of nonanalyzed, damaged hemispheres is shown in parentheses. A two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate overall significance between groups, with group and hemisphere as factors. Between-group and between-hemisphere comparisons were made with Tukey's protected t test when significant effects were found in the ANOVA. The values in bold indicate significant differences between the LIDO group and VEH or SHAM groups. IPSI refers to hemispheres ipsilateral to deprived eye; CONTRA refers to hemispheres contralateral to deprived eye.
