Orientation maps stability and Pixel proportions in orientation maps. a Two orientation maps generated at two intervals (1 h). Pinwheels and zones separating iso-orientation domains were traced within each map. The shift map in illustrated below both orientation maps (test 1 and test 2). b Spatial coordinates (x and y axes) of each pinwheel during both tests. The black dot indicates the pinwheel presented in (c). c Profile plot of pinwheel 5 with its respective coordinates for both tests. d Orientation maps pre- and post-adaptation, each color represents one specific orientation. The dashed rectangle indicates the region of interest wherein each black dot represents a pinwheel. Pixel-shifts map generated using pixel-by-pixel subtraction between the two maps (pre- and post-adaptation) and is shown on the lower right part. e Pixel proportions of all orientations for both pre- and post-adaptation conditions
