Illustration of segregation of projections from the eye. The retinal input from two eyes (blue represents left; red represents right) is segregated into distinct layers in the LGN by remodeling the axon branches and synaptic connections of RGCs. In the layer IVc of the primary visual cortex (V1), LGN neurons that respond preferentially to one eye segregate from neurons that respond preferentially to the other eye in structures called ocular dominance columns.
