Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex (1982, background): “…the visually excitable cells are still orientation selective at 6 weeks (and even beyond 24 months of age) and the proportion of binocular cells is less than normal (Wiesel and Hubel, 1965; Blakemore and Van Sluyters, 1975; Kratz and Spear, 1976; Leventhal and Hirsch, 1977; Watkins et al., 1978 ).”
Inequality in the Early Cognitive Development of British Children in the 1970 Cohort (2003, unknown): “This stronger form of state dependence is due to a classic paper by Wiesel and Hubel (1965) whose animal experiments showed that kittens who had one eye covered from birth to three months had insufficient synaptic development in the areas of the brain concerned with sight.”
How the Timing and Quality of Early Experiences Influence the Development of Brain Architecture (2010, unknown): “In order to assure that a neuron is stimulated by experience coming from only one eye, a competitive process occurs in which activation and neighboring inhibition result in an alternating pattern of connectivity between columns of neurons in layer IV and each eye (Wiesel & Hubel, 1965).”
Emergence of categorical face perception after extended early-onset blindness (2017, background): “This harkens to the classical notions of a critical period in visual development (14, 15).”
Sensitive Periods in the Development of the Brain and Behavior (2004, background): “After the period ends, the typical pattern of ocular representation cannot be recovered despite the restoration of visual input to both eyes ( Wiesel & Hubel, 1965 ).”
Mechanisms underlying development of visual maps and receptive fields. (2008, background): “Around the same time, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel discovered the importance of early visual experience for plasticity of visual circuits (Wiesel & Hubel 1963a, 1965a,b).”
Development of pattern vision following early and extended blindness (2014, background): “Neurophysiological studies in animals following early binocular visual deprivation demonstrate reductions in the responsiveness, orientation selectivity, resolution, and contrast sensitivity of neurons in visual cortex (1–4) that persist when sight is restored later in life (8).”
When and how do children develop knowledge of verb argument structure? Evidence from verb bias effects in a structural priming task (2015, background): “…periods exist in many domains (e.g., Crawford, Harwerth, Smith, & von Noorden, 1996; Daw, 1994; Katz & Shatz, 1996; Kral & Sharma, 2012; Wiesel & Hubel, 1965) suggests that these learning rate changes may be governed by neural mechanisms that are not specific to language learning…”
The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “These famous studies by Hubel and Wiesel (1965, 1970; Wiesel & Hubel, 1965a, b) involved raising cats in conditions of either complete monocular deprivation or severely attenuated binocular input (via imposed strabismus) and showing that these early experiences severely impaired the development of…”
Age of acquisition: its neural and computational mechanisms. (2007, result): “This view fits well with classic findings of a maturational constraint in sensory processing (Frenkel & Bear, 2004; Hensch, 2004; Hubel & Wiesel, 1965; Knudsen & Knudsen, 1990; Pettigrew, 1972; Smith & Greene, 1963; Stafford, 1984; Tees, 1967; Wiesel & Hubel, 1965).”
The learning brain: lessons for education: a précis. (2005, background): “Researchers have known for the past 30 years that an animal requires certain kinds of environmental stimulation at specific times – a critical period – during its development for the brain's sensory and motor systems to develop normally (Wiesel & Hubel, 1965).”
Imaging brain development: The adolescent brain (2012, background): “Ground-breaking experiments on animals, starting in the 1950s, showed that, soon after birth, sensory regions of the brain go through sensitive periods during which environmental stimulation appears to be crucial for normal brain development and normal perceptual development to occur (Hubel and Wies”
