Early monocular deprivation decreases the width of ocular dominance columns from the deprived eye and increases the width of ocular dominance columns from the nondeprived eye. This is known as the "shift" in ocular dominance columns, where the nondeprived eye takes over more cortical territory compared to the deprived eye.
