Neuronal circuits are shaped by experience during 'critical periods' of early postnatal life.
The ability to control the timing, duration, and closure of these heightened levels of brain …

Binocular vision is shaped by experience during a critical period of early postnatal life. Loss
of visual acuity following monocular deprivation is mediated by a shift of spiking output from …

Neural circuits are shaped by experience in early postnatal life. The permanent loss of visual
acuity (amblyopia) and anatomical remodeling within primary visual cortex following …

The potency of the environment to shape brain function changes dramatically across the
lifespan. Neural circuits exhibit profound plasticity during early life and are later stabilized. A …

In many regions of the developing brain, neuronal circuits undergo defined phases of
enhanced plasticity, termed critical periods. Work in the rodent visual cortex has led to …

Brain plasticity is maximal at specific time windows during early development known as
critical periods (CPs), during which sensory experience is necessary to establish optimal …

Visual system circuitry, a canonical model system for the study of experience-dependent
development, matures before and following the onset of vision. Sensory experience or …

Editor's note: The brain acquires certain skills—from visual perception to language—during
critical windows, specific times in early life when the brain is actively shaped by …

Brain plasticity is dynamically regulated across the life span, peaking during windows of
early life. Typically assessed in the physiological range of milliseconds (real time), these …
