Domain-specific¶
- Myelination
- The process unfolds on multiple timescales: developmental myelination follows a protracted schedule in mammals, with sensory and motor pathways completing before higher cortical association tracts — a timetable whose completion in humans extends into the third decade of life — while experience-dependent myelination in adults adjusts the thickness and extent of myelin in response to activity in specific circuits
This sourceThe myelogenetic cycles mapped across 25 regions of the human nervous system, establishing that sensory and motor pathways myelinate before cortical association tracts and that intracortical fibres continue into the third decade; the adult activity-dependent half of the sentence is a modern finding this 1967 chapter cannot carry.
