Tectal ablation in neonatal rats leads to retrograde degeneration of retinal ganglion cells whereas similar damage in adults does not. We show here that the behavioral effects are comparably different. When rats with neonatal tectal ablation are tested as adults they are impaired in learning a discr

โฆ Synopsis
A new method is presented to study the effect of straylight on visual acuity using a spectacle frame fitted with concentric light-emitting diodes as a glare source. Preliminary results showed that intraocular lenses scatter about 2.3 times more than healthy human lenses.

The visual acuity of the newborn -if it can be determined at all -must be determined by an objective method, i.e., by observing some overt reaction to an appropriate, variable and measurable stimulus. The problems of testing visual acuity by such a technique are manifold, even if one is dealing with
