Changes in the contralateral bias index with duration of monocular deprivation. Median CBIs are shown for groups of alcohol- and saline-treated animals subjected to 3, 5, or 10 d of monocular deprivation. CBIs show a steeper decline with duration of deprivation for control than that for alcohol-treated animals (p < 0.05; ANOVA). For this reason, 10 d of monocular deprivation were required to induce an ocular dominance shift in alcohol-treated animals similar to that seen after only 3 d of monocular deprivation in control animals.
