BEREZOVSKY, Adriana. Retinal function maturation in preterm infants. Psicol. USP [online]. 2007, vol.18, n.2, pp.35-45. ISSN 1678-5177.
The human retina is not fully developed at birth. Several anatomic changes occur postnatally in the developing retina including an increase in cone density and elongation of photoreceptor outer-segments. The functional changes that occur in the retina with maturation during the fi rst year of life can be evaluated with full-fi eld electroretinogram, which represents the summed activity of the distal retina in response to light. Functional maturation of the retina is addressed in preterm infants assessed by electroretinography.
