title = "Cell-Type-Specific Thalamocortical Inputs Constrain Direction Map Formation in Visual Cortex",
abstract = "Nishiyama et al. find fragmented organization of direction columns in the cat primary visual cortex. The direction columns are predominantly located in cortical domains preferring low spatial frequency. The results suggest that cell-type-specific thalamocortical projections from LGN may constrain direction column formation in the cat visual cortex.",
