Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

The article reviews evidence for sensitive periods in the sensory systems and considers their
neuronal mechanisms from the viewpoint of the system's neuroscience. It reviews the …

A growing number of research publications have illustrated the remarkable ability of the
brain to reorganize itself in response to various sensory experiences. A traditional view of …

Early sensory experience instructs the maturation of neural circuitry in the cortex,. This has
been studied extensively in the primary visual cortex, in which loss of vision to one eye …

Training during a sensitive period in development may have greater effects on brain
structure and behavior than training later in life. Musicians are an excellent model for …

The principles by which networks of neurons compute, and how spike-timing dependent
plasticity (STDP) of synaptic weights generates and maintains their computational function …

The primary objective of this review article is to summarize how the neuroscience of brain
plasticity, exploiting new findings in fundamental, integrative and cognitive neuroscience, is …

In The Mind within the Brain, David Redish brings together cutting edge research in
psychology, robotics, economics, neuroscience, and the new fields of neuroeconomics and …

The frontal cortex matures late in development, showing dramatic changes after puberty
onset, yet few experiments have directly tested the role of pubertal hormones in cortical …

Spatial patterns of functional organization, resolved by microelectrode mapping, comprise a
core principle of sensory cortices. In auditory cortex, however, recent two-photon Ca 2+ …
