Does puberty mark a transition in sensitive periods for plasticity in the associative neocortex?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2016.08.042
Abstract: Postnatal brain development is studded with sensitive periods during which experience dependent plasticity is enhanced. This enables rapid learning from environmental inputs and reorganization of cortical circuits that matches behavior with environmental contingencies. Significant headway… read more here.
