Within a column
	• Information is processed and transformed from monocular, center-surround,non-directionally selective input to • Orientation- • Binocular disparity- • Direction-selective output • Processed information is distributed • Layers 2-3 to other cortical areas • Layer 5 to the superior colliculus • Layer 6 to the lateral geniculate nucleus • This general arrangement of columnar processing is maintained throughout the cortex, not just visual cortex.
