Neural plasticity across the lifespan (2016, background): “In an animal in which one eye is occluded soon after birth, however, the unoccluded eye acquires a disproportionate cortical representation (Figure 4, right) and projects much more widely at the expense of the occluded eye’s projections.(12,13) If this occlusion occurs during the critical period, de”
Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex (1982, background): “…a " critical " period (ranging from about 3 to about 12 weeks), results in a rapid loss of binocularity, to the profit of the open eye (Wiesel and Hubel, 1963, 1965); then, opening the closed eye and closing the experienced one may result in a complete reversal of ocular dominance (Blakemore and…”
Spatiotemporal Dimensions of Visual Signals in Animal Communication (2007, background): “…of ambient light during a critical period can influence the expression of visual pigments in retinal photoreceptors (Fuller et al. 2005) and, as shown in classic studies by Hubel & Wiesel (1963), cortical cells that parse spatial frequency and orientation are also sensitive to early visual input.”
A model for the development of simple cell receptive fields and the ordered arrangement of orientation columns through activity-dependent competition between ON- and OFF-center inputs (1994, background): “Significant numbers of oriented cells are found in kitten Vl as early as visual responses can be found, ranging from P6 (postnatal day 6) to PI2 in various studies (Hubel and Wiesel, 1963; Blakemore and van Sluyters, 1975; Buisserct and Imbert. 1976; Fregnac and Imbert, 1978; Bonds, 1979; Tsumoto an”
In vivo two-photon imaging reveals a role of arc in enhancing orientation specificity in visual cortex. (2006, unknown): “However, orientation selectivity has traditionally been determined by recording single-unit spiking activities with extracellular microelectrodes (Hubel and Wiesel, 1963), which does not allow repeated sampling of the same cells.”
Influence of experience on orientation maps in cat visual cortex (1999, background): “Orientation selective neurons are present at the time of natural eye openin”
An evaluation of the two-dimensional Gabor filter model of simple receptive fields in cat striate cortex. (1987, background): “Because its parameters are continuously variable, one imagines that the system can be fine-tuned according to the environment in which the organism finds itself, either through early visual experience (18) or by continual reconfiguration throughout the animal’s lifetime ( 14).”
The period of susceptibility to the physiological effects of unilateral eye closure in kittens (1970, background): “Neurophysiological studies of single cells indicate that the highly specialized neurones in the cat visual cortex establish their proper connexions through innate mechanisms (Hubel & Wiesel, 1963).”

Inhibitory synaptic plasticity: spike timing-dependence and putative network function (2013, background): “The influence of experience on the connectivity and function of sensory areas of the brain has been investigated extensively (Hubel and Wiesel, 1963, 1970; Mower et al., 1982; Merzenich et al., 1983; Fox, 1992; Hofer et al., 2009; Wittenberg, 2010).”
INNATENESS AND EMERGENTISM (1996, background): “For example, the visual cortex of the cat contains odd little neurons that only fire to lines at a particular orientation (Hubel & Wiesel, 1963).”
Self-organization of orientation sensitive cells in the striate cortex (2004, background): “Ad II: The only mechanism proposed so far in the literature is genetical predetermination of the required circuitry (Hubel and Wiesel, 1963).”
Early experience alters brain function and structure. (2004, background): “Control (14) and experimental (16) infants were assessed at 2 weeks’ and 9 months’ corrected age on health status, growth, and neurobehavior, and at 2 weeks’ corrected age additionally on electroencephalogram spectral coherence, magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, and measurements of transv”
Perceptual training narrows the temporal window of multisensory binding (2009, background): “…and Land, 1987; Zhang et al., 2001; de Villers-Sidani et al., 2007; Han et al., 2007), and that passive exposure to these same stimuli became less likely to drive behavioral change and neural reorganization as an animal reached the end of a critical period of development (Hubel and Wiesel, 1963).”
