Binocularity in the Cat Visual Cortex is Reduced by Sectioning the Corpus Callosum

In the normal cat, most cells in area 17 can be binocularly driven. Sectioning the corpus callosum results in a significant reduction in binocularly driven cells. Normal binocular vision is thus dependent on the corpus callosum.
