Sensitive periods occur when unique experiences permanently
influence brain development either by their presence or absence.
This volume covers underlying brain systems and behaviors that are
sculpted by the environment in humans and animals in a search for
commonalities. The mechanisms involved, the importance of timing in
the process, and factors that can change the brain are discussed in
this exciting book. Different chapters examine how experience
guides the development of cells, circuits, and function using
vision, cortical circuits, and cognition as frameworks. Scientific
evidence for effective preventative intervention approaches,
including diet, exercise, and music, are included to find ways to
maximize child and adolescent development. The adverse effects of
early brain injury are also included. As sensitive periods are
gaining importance in their application in the real-world, novel
statistical approaches for human studies are presented and the
importance of sensitive periods are covered by examining the
juvenile justice system. The book has interdisciplinary appeal and
scholars with an interest in brain resiliency or vulnerability will
find it of particular interest.
