Abstract Behaviorally relevant, higher order representations of an animal's environment are built from the convergence of visual features encoded in the early stages of visual processing. Although developmental mechanisms that generate feature encoding channels in early visual circuits have been uncovered, relatively little is known about the mechanisms that direct feature convergence to enable appropriate integration into downstream circuits.
