Minicolumns {ocular dominance column} can have 3000 input axons and 50,000 output axons. Signals to column from right or left eye ocular dominance process faster. Visual-cortex hypercolumns have equal numbers of both ocular dominance columns [Hubel and Wiesel, 1968] [Hubel, 1988] [Horton and Hedley-Whyte, 1984] [LeVay et al., 1985].
Ocular dominance columns are independent units 0.4 to 0.5 millimeters apart. They have bands for same orientation or same eye.
Ocular dominance columns are only in Old-World monkeys, apes, and humans, and not in New World monkeys.
