Weight Agnostic Neural Networks (2019, background): “For humans it is evident, especially during early childhood [46, 107], that we learn skills and form memories by forming new synaptic connections, and our brain rewires itself based on our new experiences [5, 11, 18, 50].”
Similar patterns of cortical expansion during human development and evolution (2010, background): “The time course of these synaptic changes differs across regions, with primary sensory areas attaining peak density and adult levels earlier than higher order “association” areas (2, 5).”
Maturation of widely distributed brain function subserves cognitive development. (2001, background): “…cognitive development are important brain maturational events that continue into early adulthood, including synaptic pruning, elaboration of dendritic arborization (Huttenlocher, 1990; Changeux et al., 1976), and increased myelination (Yakovlev et al., 1967; Giedd et al., 1999; Paus et al., 1999).”
The computational modeling of sensitive periods. (2006, background): “, set to zero for the remainder of training), implementing the idea that the network is initially over-resourced but then prunes away unnecessary connections (Huttenlocher, 2002).”
Normal Development of Brain Circuits (2010, background): “In the primary visual cortex, for example, after a burst of synapse formation between age 3 and 4 months, synaptic density reaches its peak at 140–150% of adult levels between the ages of 4 and 12 months, after which the mean number of synapses per neuron decline (Bourgeois, 1997; Bourgeois and Raki”
Life course health development: an integrated framework for developing health, policy, and research. (2002, background): “Likewise, the complexity and rapidity of neural development creates a critical period of neuronal vulnerability that extends from the end of the second trimester of gestation well into the first decade of childhood (Huttenlocher 1990; Huttenlocher and Dabholkar 1997; Penn and Shatz 1999).”
Temperament theory and the study of cognition-emotion interactions across development (2007, background): “…undergoes many age-related structural and functional changes that impact upon the efficiency of functioning including changes in synaptic density (Huttenlocher, 1979, 1990), metabolic and electrical activity (Luciana & Nelson, 1998; Rubia et al., 2000), and changes in myelination (Pfefferbaum et…”
Emotion, plasticity, context, and regulation: perspectives from affective neuroscience. (2000, background): “This is a period during which pronounced plasticity is likely to occur in the central circuitry of emotion, particularly in the PFC, which is still undergoing important developmental change at least until puberty (Huttenlocher, 1990).”
Can structure predict function in the human brain? (2010, unknown): “approximately 1 year of age and continues through adulthood, is a critical element of cerebral development (Huttenlocher, 1990).”
Fetal Brain Behavior and Cognitive Development (2000, background): “Although various limbic nuclei become functionally mature over the course of the first several postnatal months and years (Benes, 1994; Joseph, 1992, 1999), the neocortex and lobes of the brain take well over 7, 10, and even 30 years to fully develop and myelinate (Blinkov & Glezer, 1968; Conel, 193”
The developing brain and neural plasticity: Implications for normality, psychopathology, and resilience. (2015, background): “The brain builds an overabundance of synapses that are then pruned back by experience to a selectively retained subset (Huttenlocher, 1990; Huttenlocher & Dabholkar, 1997).”
Trajectories of cortical thickness maturation in normal brain development – The importance of quality control procedures (2015, unknown): “A gradual synaptic pruning of inefficient connections in childhood and adolescence could lead to a decrease in gray matter thickness (Huttenlocher, 1990; Zatorre et al., 2012).”
