The immature brain is not simply a small adult brain and normal development depends upon a complex series of interactions between nature and nurture. The original studies of Hubel and Wiesel showed that visual experience during early critical periods of postnatal development profoundly affects the development and functioning of the visual areas of the brain. The overall aim of this proposal is to build upon the insights from our earlier studies of critical periods for visual development and extend them to address an important and emerging field of study -- interactions between the development of visual cortex and other cortical areas.

未成熟的大脑不仅仅是一个小的成人大脑，正常的发育取决于先天和后天之间一系列复杂的相互作用。Hubel和Wibel最初的研究表明，在出生后发育的早期关键时期，视觉体验深刻地影响了大脑视觉区域的发育和功能。这项建议的总体目标是建立在我们早期研究的视觉发展的关键时期的见解，并将其扩展到一个重要的和新兴的研究领域-视觉皮层和其他皮层区域的发展之间的相互作用。
