Critical androgen-sensitive periods of rat penis and clitoris development
Androgen control of penis development/growth is unclear. In rats, androgen action in a foetal 'masculinisation programming window' (MPW; e15.5-e18.5)' predetermines penile length and hypospadias occurrence. This has implications for humans (e.g. micropenis). Our studies aimed to establish in rats when androgen action/administration affects development/growth of the penis and if deficits in MPW ...
متن کاملCritical Periods for the Development of Obesity
The mother's nutritional and metabolic environment is critical in determining not only the success of reproduction but also for the future health of the newborn. Maternal genetics, maternal diet during pregnancy, lactation and infant feeding in the early stages of life can have long-term effects on children's health and may predispose to diseases such as obesity. The term "programming“ has been...
متن کاملTiming of critical periods in development
Critical periods are specific periods in the development of a living organism during which there is an increased sensitivity to external perturbations. Such perturbations result in a developmental trajectory significantly different from what is considered the norm. This study is concerned with the question of whether the presence and timing of a critical period can be predicted from the develop...
متن کاملSensitive and critical periods in visual sensory deprivation
While the demonstration of crossmodal plasticity is well established in congenital and early blind individuals, great debate still surrounds whether those who acquire blindness later in life can also benefit from such compensatory changes. No proper consensus has been reached despite the fact that a proper understanding of the developmental time course of these changes, and whether their occurr...
متن کاملAre there critical periods for musical development?
A critical period can be defined as a developmental window during which specific experience has a greater effect than at other times. Musical behavior involves many skills, including the basic encoding of pitch and time information, understanding scale and harmonic structure, performance, interpretation, and composition. We review studies of genetics, behavior, and brain structure and function ...
