Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “Also, the fiber tracts in monkey brains are more myelinated than in human brains at the same postnatal age (Gibson, 1991; Malkova et al., 2006).”
A developmental psychopathology perspective on adolescence. (2002, background): “These include the normal developmental changes that take place during late adolescence and early adulthood, such as (a) synaptic pruning of the prefrontal cortex (Feinberg, 1982; McGlashan & Hoffman, 2000), (b) pubertal increases in gonadal hormones during adolescence (Spear, 2000a, 2000b), (c) deve”
Heterochrony and Cross-Species Intersensory Matching by Infant Vervet Monkeys (2009, background): “A comparison of the rate of neural development in vervet monkeys relative to humans indicates that vervets develop at a rate that is 3 to 4 times faster than humans [15,16].”
The developing brain and neural plasticity: Implications for normality, psychopathology, and resilience. (2015, background): “These include the normal developmental changes that take place during late adolescence and early adulthood, such as: (1) synaptic pruning of the prefrontal cortex (Feinberg, 1982; McGlashan & Hoffman, 2000), (2) pubertal increases in gonadal hormones during adolescence (Spear, 2000; Walker, Sabuwall”
Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging study of rhesus monkey brain development (2006, background): “This corresponds to the findings from anatomical studies in monkeys that the volume of white matter at birth is estimated to be less than 25% of adult levels (Gibson, 1991) as compared with the total brain volume being approximately half of the adult size.”
Frontal lobe and cognitive development (2002, background): “It has reasonably been argued, on the basis of neuropsychological and linguistic data, that the cognitive development of the child is closely dependent on the development of cortical myelin (Gibson, 1991).”
