1 Modification of Brain Circuits as a Result of Experience Chapter 24, Purves et al. 4 th Ed. Pre-natal construction of neural circuits (the highways are genetically specified): (1/6/2010) Mona Buhusi Postnatal modification of neural circuits (e.g., learn a language): Adapt to changing external environments, changes in head & brain size Temporal windows for the brain to become refractory to the lessons of experience critical or sensitive periods, e.g. learning a new language Neural activity triggers the refinement of connections via calcium, neurotrophins, local gene expression, cytoskeleton
2 Postnatal Experience = patterns of neural activity
3 Idea of a critical period System, circuit, or cell waiting for specific instructional information from the environment in order to continue to develop If appropriate experience is not gained during the critical period, the pathway may never attain the ability to process certain forms of information, e.g. depth, and perception may be impaired permanently. During a critical period, the system can adapt to virtually any stimuli, appropriate or inappropriate. It is possible to delay/accelerate the critical period, e.g. environment dark rearing; molecules GABA
4 Box 24A Built-In Behaviors: Experience is an ON switch Goslings forever follow the first large moving object they hear and see during their first day of life. This imprinting is irreversible. Vision and audition are very poorly developed in newborn mammals rely more on olfaction. Olfaction more evolutionary primitive
5 Properties of critical periods 1) Duration is proportional to lifespan 2) Functional competition between inputs (e.g., left vs. right eye) 3) Neuronal activity (action potentials, forward and back propagating) 4) Structural consolidation of pathways 5) Onset and duration is defined by neural activity 6) Different critical periods for different systems: e.g., direction selectivity and ocular dominance are plastic at different times 6) Diversity of sensory/motor systems & molecular mechanisms 7) Particular roles of excitation and inhibition GABA can open the critical period 8) Potential for reactivation? (training, growth factors) Autism, Schizophrenia: critical period disorders?

12 Visual system: Much clearer understanding of how changes in connectivity contribute to critical periods: Infinite control and reproducibility of visual stimuli in space and time. Visual cortex (not retina or thalamus) is especially plastic.

34 Figure 24.6 Effect of monocular deprivation on ocular dominance columns in the macaque monkey Normal Monocularly deprived after birth Deprived eye columns are shrunken, not disappeared. So not disuse mediated withering away but competitive imbalance
35 We are born with ocular dominance columns but abnormal experience can modify them. Depth (stereo) vision develops 4-6 months after birth in humans.

48 Molyneux's problem is an unsolved problem in philosophy for more than three centuries: If a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes, could he similarly distinguish those objects by sight if given the ability to see? Can one begin to have sight late in life, past the critical period? If so, can such subjects provide insight into how we learn to see? One in 100 children in India is blind, largely from congenital cataracts that go untreated. In the US & Europe, cataracts are an disease of the elderly. Limited care due to cost and limited hope due to apparent dogmas.
49 What if a blind adolescent or adult (born with congenital cataract) receives surgery (as adolescents or adults), what would they see? Note that a congenital cataract does result in some form vision and motion sensitivity intact, its just that acuity is gone. Initially in these patients that receive new lenses, there are integrative difficulties meaning that they see fragmented pieces rather than whole/singular objects (like autism). But motion cues can help parse objects from background or one overlapping object from another. After a few weeks or months of experience, motion is no longer required to parse objects. Motion cues and thus motion-sensitive neurons in the primary visual cortex is a likely bootstrap for visual learning and developing integrative skills.

53 Does the recovery of object recognition in lens blind subjects challenge Hubel & Wiesel s findings on ocular dominance plasticity?
