Continual Lifelong Learning with Neural Networks: A Review (2018, background): “An early computational example of this conceptwas proposed by Hinton and Plaut (1987) in which each synaptic connection has two weights: a plastic weight with slow change rate which stores long-term knowledge and a fast-changing weight for temporary knowledge.”
Critical Learning Periods in Deep Neural Networks (2017, background): “The biological mechanisms underlying the regulation of critical periods are manifold and depend on the species being studied, the brain regions involved and the nature of the experience (14).”
Axon retraction and degeneration in development and disease. (2005, background): “The low to high anterior (A) to posterior (P) gradient of the axon repellents, ephrin-As, stops the posterior extension of RGC axons and generates topographic specificity in the subsequent interstitial axon branching and branch arborization.”
Controversies of Standardized Assessment in School Accountability Reform: A Critical Synthesis of Multidisciplinary Research Evidence (2006, background): “As Hensch (2004) contended, “the critical period is not a simple, age-dependent maturational process but is rather a series of events itself controlled in a use-dependent manner” (p. 556).”
Critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits (2005, background): “Clear evidence for critical periods has instead been found in the primary sensory systems of several specie”
Critical periods and catastrophic interference effects in the development of self-organizing feature maps. (2008, background): “Although the profiles of plasticity that regulate critical periods may vary across brain systems (Uylings, 2006), there is a general trend for plasticity to decrease with increasing age (Hensch, 2004).”
Age of acquisition: its neural and computational mechanisms. (2007, background): “…coordination, including the basal ganglia, undergo rapid organization and reorganization early in life; a loss of plasticity leads to difficulty in forming complex mappings later in life (Bates, 1999, Bates et al., 1997; Hensch, 2004; Pickett, Kuniholm, Protopapas , Friedman, & Lieberman, 1998).”
The gut microbiota influences blood-brain barrier permeability in mice (2014, background): “An intact and tightly regulated BBB is also required to protect against colonizing microbiota in neonates during the critical period of brain development (8, 9).”
Network dynamics underlying the formation of sparse, informative representations in the hippocampus (2008, neutral): “The active selection of high peak spatial firing rate neurons is conceptually similar to the sorts of activity dependent plasticity that increase the specificity of neural tuning during development (Hensch, 2004).”
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).”
Development and Plasticity of Intra- and Intersensory Information Processing (2008, background): “Myriad examples from the visual, somatosensory, and auditory systems have demonstrated that the profound effects of sensory experience on functional circuit operations are limited to an early period of postnatal development (for review see Hensch, 2004; Keuroghlian and Knudsen, 2007).”
Common circuit defect of excitatory-inhibitory balance in mouse models of autism (2009, neutral): “Since then critical periods have been identified across a variety of brain regions, sensory systems and species [32].”
A critical period for enhanced synaptic plasticity in newly generated neurons of the adult brain. (2007, neutral): “This is reminiscent of the classic early postnatal critical period in which enhanced synaptic plasticity is associated with a large magnitude of structural modification and consolidation (Hensch, 2004).”
Adolescent neurodevelopment. (2013, background): “The balance between plasticity and stability is tilted towards plasticity early in life -- a time when there are many opportunities for the brain to be sculpted by experiences – ranging from initial sensory experiences to early nutrient exposure/restriction or developmental adversities (70; 71; 72).”
Impacts of technology use on children (2019, background): “Nevertheless, this is an important field to explore, especially as children’s brains are more malleable than those of adults in response to experience (Hensch, 2004[23]).”
