Cells in the cortex are arranged according to both stimulus-orientation preference and ocular dominance. This means that nearby neurons have similar preferences for the orientation of visual stimuli and respond preferentially to inputs from either the left or right eye. This organization is important for integrating information from both eyes and building a complete representation of the visual world.
