- Critical Period
- Developmental neuroscience: monocular deprivation during the visual cortex's critical period produces permanent amblyopia while the same deprivation in adulthood has no effect; native-grammar acquisition is gated to a window roughly from birth to puberty; filial imprinting is a sharp few-hour version of the same structure.
This sourceEstablishes the visual-cortex critical period: monocular deprivation during a bounded postnatal window (susceptibility begins ~week 4, declines after weeks 6–8, gone by ~month 3) causes permanent ocular-dominance shifts/amblyopia, while year-long deprivation in an adult cat produces no effect.
