What would happen to ocular dominance columns if the input from one eye was reduced, for example if a patch was put over the left eye during development (the ocular dominance columns are formed during development of the cortex) ?
A) They would have sharper edges.
B) The reduced visual input would result in more of a block pattern instead of a striped pattern such that all inputs from one eye would go to one 'half' of the visual cortex and input from the other eye would go to the other half of the visual cortex.
C) The input from the right eye, or the unblocked eye, would decrease while the input from the left eye, or blocked eye would increase.
D) The input from the right eye, or the unblocked eye, would increase while the input from the left eye, or blocked eye would decrease.
