22. Previous data show that a 2-hour imaging interval underestimates the total number of rapid branch rearrangements, but it greatly reduces the risk of phototoxicity. It also ensured that animals received considerable natural visual experience during the intervals between image collection. Imaging and full recovery from anesthesia require about 15 min. Thus, the tadpoles spent at least 85% of the experimental period swimming and experiencing natural vision.
23. All values are presented as the mean ± SEM.
24. This analysis also allowed us to exclude the possibility that the results seen in ipsilateral axons may have been due to the contribution of a population of regenerating ipsilateral axons that were potentially severed during tectal surgery.

26. The overall contralateral bias of inputs is reflected in the mean local ocular dominance of MK-801-treated branch tips (Fig. 6B), but does not severely affect the comparison between branch behaviors in ipsilaterally dominated and contralaterally dominated territories (Fig. 6, C and D)
