Abstract
Visual evoked responses (VER's) of stump‐tailed macaques were studied from birth to 80 weeks in an attempt to establish the utility of this species as a model of human neurophysiological development. Although human subjects and monkeys share a unique complexity of the VER at birth, the postnatal development of their VER's does not appear to follow a parallel sequence. The relatively dynamic nature of the VER during the 1st few weeks in a monkey's life may limit the usefulness of this species as a model of human development. The rapid changes in the VER of the developing monkey and the observation that these changes continue beyond 2 years of age should be considered in studies of the VER in which repeated measures are obtained over a prolonged period of time.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
