Ocular dominance columns in the human brain from a person who had one eye removed 23 years prior to death. A. A section cut approximately parallel to the surface of the cortex stained for the presence of the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase. The alternating dark and light bands correspond to the locations of the ocular dominance columns for the intact and removed eyes. Enucleation resulted in very low levels of the enzyme in columns for that eye. B and C. Photographs of the left (B) and right (C) occipital lobes, with the ocular dominance columns from the intact eye drawn directly on the surface of the cortex. The intervening spaces correspond to the columns for the removed eye. Calibration bar is 1 cm. (Courtesy of Dr. Jonathan C. Horton. Adapted from Horton JC, Hedley-White ET.
