Summary
The development of some electrophysiological activities of the visual system (VERs) was compared in control rats and in young rats with poor intrauterine fetal growth caused by an electrolytic lesion of the placenta. Treated rats showed a delayed development of the electrophysiological functions considered, thus confirming the postnatal effect of poor intrauterine fetal growth.
