Sensitive Periods in the Development of the Brain and Behavior (2004, background): “…synapses tend to be weak, synapses are occupied by subclasses of neurotransmitter receptors with relatively slow kinetics that favor plasticity, and inhibitory influences are weak and/or unpatterned (Luscher et al., 2000; Petralia et al., 1999; Hensch et al., 1998; Luhmann & Prince, 1991).”
