In this study, we test the hypothesis that when REM-state activation (which impinges upon all lateral geniculate nucleus laminae irrespective of stimulating eye) is deprived, the monocular segment (MS) that is cut off from visual input and also deprived of REM-state activation will exhibit smaller cells, owing to the loss of extrinsic as well as intrinsic activation.
