There are two main conclusions:
1) There was no evidence that areas of the cortex were silent suggesting changes were not the consequence of degeneration
2) The visual input changed the kittens preferred orientation due to the stimulus of either horizontal or vertical stripes

Deficiencies overcome after 10 hours:
-moved by touch, not by sight
-failed to stretch paws as came towards the end of the table.
-no startle response
-frightened by end of surface
Permanent Defects
-poor at judging distance
-only had startle response to the black stripe in the orientation of their condition
-only follow rods that matched their condition
Physiological investigation of neurons
- 75% binocular
-no neurons within 20 degrees of opposite orientation
- only 12 within 45 degrees of opposite orientation

Colin Blakemore does terrible things to kittehz.  For science!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Researching the visual cortex in 1973, Blakemore selectively limited some cats' exposure to visual stimuli to determine whether their brains would just "know" how to see certain kinds of shapes naturally. Short answer: nope. Just to be clear: the title of the video is ironic. I wouldn't post a clip of animals being tormented.

Laboratory raised kittens that were in complete darkness until 2weeks of age

To investigate the effect on kittens' visual development of a restricted visual environment, consisting of either vertical stripes only or horizontal striped only, in which the animal could move freely

Visual Tracking - The ability to follow the path of a moving object
Depth Perception - The ability to judge the position of an object in space
Binocular - Neurones are activated by stimulation of either eye
Monocular - Neurons are activated by a particular eye
