From synapse to nucleus: calcium-dependent gene transcription in the control of synapse development and function. (2008, unknown): “The importance of environmental cues for the development of the nervous system was demonstrated by the elegant work of Hubel and Wiesel in the visual system, which revealed that experience plays a critical role in shaping neuronal connectivity (Wiesel, 1982).”
The Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism (2014, unknown): “Overall, in the process of experience-expectant plasticity, developing brains go through sensitive periods (Knudsen, 2004; Wiesel, 1981) during which they require a minimum level of normal experience.”
Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “Proper binocular fusion and stereoscopic vision depend on the correct processing of information from the two eyes (Daw 1995, Wiesel 1982).”
What Sign Language Reveals about the Critical Period for Language (2009, background): “Critical period phenomena were first observed and documented for animal behavior at a number of levels, for example in chicks’ identification and attachment to mother birds (Lorenz, 1965) or in cats’ visual perceptual development (Wiesel, 1982).”

Immune modulation of learning, memory, neural plasticity and neurogenesis. (2011, unknown): “Ample studies demonstrate that monocular deprivation in the adult mammalian brain results in weakening and pruning of inputs from the deprived eye, along with a gradual strengthening and expansion of inputs from the open eye (Wiesel, 1982).”
Neuronal Projections from V1 to V2 in Amblyopia (2012, unknown): “This anatomical change was thought to be responsible for amblyopia, by reducing the flow of visual signals from the deprived eye to striate cortex (Wiesel, 1982).”
