Abstract
We disagree with Calford et al.1 that there is a consensus on adult plasticity in primate V1 cortex: for example, macaque area V1 cytochrome oxidase levels remained depressed for several months after binocular retinal lesions2; no reorganization in macaque V1 after monocular retinal lesions was found3; and no area V1 reorganization in a patient with macular degeneration was detected4.
