VEP

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这是一项前瞻性研究，对象是出生体重小于1500克的Lucile Packard儿童医院收治的早产儿。 该研究项目涉及对人类婴儿视觉发育的研究，旨在：1）描述识别物体和图案的视觉机制的发展; 2）开发可应用于非语言儿科患者的临床有用的视觉功能测试;（3）评估定量脑磁共振成像（MRI）的能力利用弥散张量检测早产儿中枢性视力损害相关的脑病变。 该研究旨在确定视觉诱发电位（VEP）和MRI在预测早产儿视觉结果中的有效性。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a prospective study of preterm infants who are admitted to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital with a birth weight less than 1500 grams. This research project involves studies of visual development in human infants designed to: 1) describe the development of visual mechanisms involved in the recognition of objects and patterns; 2) develop clinically useful tests of visual function that can be applied in non-verbal pediatric patients; and 3) to assess the ability of quantitative brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using diffusion tensor to detect brain lesions that are associated with central visual impairment in premature infants. The study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of the visual evoked potentials (VEP) and MRI in predicting visual outcome in preterm infants.
