The mammalian brain is highly plastic. Experience, both positive and negative, affects how neural circuits are wired, with long lasting effects on the well-being of the individual. This lecture will discuss the molecular mechanisms through which sensory experience and environmental factors affect neural circuit development and plasticity, focusing on plasticity mechanisms that may be unique to early development. The relevance of these mechanisms to developmental neurological disorders, especially autism spectrum disorders, will also be highlighted.
