1. Neurons and glial cells are generated during brain development, and their survival depends on various factors such as nutrient availability and mechanical support.2. Critical periods exist during development when certain experiences can shape the brain's circuitry. These periods vary for different skills and behaviors.3. Visual deprivation during a critical period can alter the organization of ocular dominance columns in the primary visual cortex (V1).4. The development of visual perception requires sensory experience during the critical period, and visual deprivation can affect how the brain is wired.5. Hebbian modifications occur during development, where changes in patterns of neural activity are translated into changes in neural circuitry.6. Critical periods end due to various hypotheses, including axon growth, synaptic transmission maturation, and constraint cortical activation.7. Adult neurogenesis occurs primarily in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and olfactory bulb, with some neurons integrating into functional networks but most dying.8. Adult neurogenesis is believed to help with pattern separation, the separation of overlapping or conflicting information.9. The primary function of adult hippocampal neurogenesis is thought to be in helping pattern separation.10.
