Critical periods in speech perception: new directions. (2015, background): “The maturation of neural circuits that utilize the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) underlies the onset timing of plasticity, reflecting environmental input as well (Hensch 2004).”
Plasticity during Sleep Is Linked to Specific Regulation of Cortical Circuit Activity (2017, background): “…excitability, but are likewise involved in regulating information processing and neuronal plasticity underlying the encoding and formation of specific memories (e.g., Hensch, 2005; Levelt and Hübener, 2012; Lovett-Barron et al., 2012; Liguz-Lecznar et al., 2016; Scheyltjens and Arckens, 2016).”
About sleep's role in memory. (2013, background): “As a consequence of maturational processes, critical period plasticity is linked to a distinct biochemical milieu, a change in the subunit composition of NMDA receptors in forebrain synapses from a predominance of NR2B subunits at birth to a prevalence of synaptic NR2A subunits towards the end of th”

Neurodevelopment of the association cortices: Patterns, mechanisms, and implications for psychopathology (2021, positive): “nets: extracellular matrix structures that ensheath dendrites (preferentially PV interneuron dendrites) and control their plasticity (Carulli et al., 2010; Hensch, 2005; Mauney et al., 2013; Takesian and Hensch, 2013).”
Autism spectrum disorders: developmental disconnection syndromes (2007, background): “This could occur by selective disruption of both long-range connections (which can be affected by changes in expression of axon guidance molecules) and local connections in GABAergic circuits (which serve as essential mediators of activity-dependent maturation of cortical circuits) [51,52].”
Dendritic excitability and synaptic plasticity. (2008, positive): “It is widely believed that learning and memory (2, 73, 371, 455, 479, 488, 489, 713, 737), as well as the development of neural circuitry (139, 151, 209, 295, 358, 379, 874), depend critically on long-term changes in the strength of synaptic connections.”
The effects of social deprivation on adolescent development and mental health (2020, positive): “Thus, the heightened neuroplasticity that characterises early development(24) is proposed to continue into adolescence(20, 21, 23).”
