[Age dynamics of visually guided behavior and visual evoked potentials of altricial nestlings].
Comparative study has been carried out of factors of organization of visually guided feeding behaviour (observation method) and the degree of maturity of the visual mechanisms by the criterion of Wulst EPs formation and of their recovery cycles in normally developing and visually deprived nestlings. In has been established that during the period following the opening of the eyes (5-9th day) the feeding behaviour is connected with diffuse photo-sensitivity of visual mechanisms. Diffuse photo-sensitivity fully provides for natural feeding behaviour at the corresponding stage of development of visual functions. Complete visual deprivation during the whole period of diffuse photo-sensitivity does not influence subsequent development of the visual system.
