The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Critical Learning Periods in Deep Neural Networks (2017, background): “It has been observed in animal models, and recently indirectly confirmed in humans (26), that a period of early sensory deprivation (dark-rearing) can lengthen the critical period and thus cause less severe effects (at the same age) than those documented in light-reared animals (27).”
Emergence of categorical face perception after extended early-onset blindness (2017, background): “The variability, which is a common feature of many aspects of the vision of newly sighted children (18, 49), does not yet have a satisfactory explanation such as age at treatment.”
Functional connectivity of visual cortex in the blind follows retinotopic organization principles (2015, background): “…modifications of sensory input (such as delayed exposure to light) or sensory-motor interactions (Duffy and Mitchell, 2013; Hübener and Bonhoeffer, 2014), which may also have contributed to recently reported cases of developing pattern vision following earlyonset blindness (Kalia et al., 2014).”
