AB  - Recent studies have made progress in characterizing the determinants of critical 
      periods for experience-dependent plasticity. They highlight the role of 
      neurotrophins, NMDA receptors and GABAergic inhibition. In particular, genetic 
      manipulation of a single molecule, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), has 
      been shown to alter the timing of the critical period of plasticity in mouse 
      visual cortex, establishing a causal relation between neurotrophin action, the 
      development of visual function, and the duration of the critical period.
