Cross-modal plasticity: where and how? (2002, background): “This variability in the timing of experience-dependent modifiability probably arises in part from differences between subsystems in the rate of maturation, the extent and timing of redundant connectivity, and the presence of chemicals and receptors that are important for plasticit”
Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “The rules of activity-dependent competition and timing have been confirmed across a variety of species (Berardi et al. 2000, Gordon & Stryker 1996).”
Normal Development of Brain Circuits (2010, background): “…of columns in the visual cortex depends on long-term potentiation, long-term depression, and pruning, all of which are regulated by patterns of neuronal activity originating in both retinas (Berardi et al, 2000; Ehrlich and Malinow, 2004; Huttenlocher et al, 1982b; Takahashi et al, 2003).”

Enriched Odor Exposure Increases the Number of Newborn Neurons in the Adult Olfactory Bulb and Improves Odor Memory (2002, background): “Sensory experience and inhibitory network Several types of behavior and perception such as human language, bird song, or binocular vision are shaped by sensory experience during a restricted “critical period” early in development, ceasing before or shortly after parturition (Berardi et al., 2000).”
Sensitive Periods in the Development of the Brain and Behavior (2004, background): “For example, ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex has been increased in adult cats or rats by injecting fetal astrocytes, enzymatically degrading extracellular matrix proteoglycans, or by raising levels of BDNF, NE, or ACh (Huberman & McAllister, 2002; Pizzorusso et al., 2002; Lein & Sha”
Critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits (2005, background): “During a brief postnatal period (of weeks to years, in proportion to the expected lifespan of the specie”
