During normal development of the visual system in the first few weeks of life, this process appears to be responsible for the correct structuring and segregation of ocular dominance columns.
A) Cell bodies migrate from the lateral geniculate nucleus to the correct location in the visual cortex.
B) Arborization of axon terminals is reduced so that neurons innervate more specific regions of the visual cortex.
C) Arborization of axon terminals is increased so that neurons innervate larger sections of the visual cortex.
D) Lateral inhibition is established between neurons in the cortex that receive input from each eye.
E) Neurons begin to synchronize firing patterns with that of their neighbors, so that cells self-organize into groups with similar activation patterns.
