Critical Periods: Motion Sensitivity Is Early in All Areas

Recent work shows that global motion sensitivity, a property of extrastriate cortex, can be altered by early visual deprivation, while binocularity, a property of primary visual cortex, is still plastic. This contradicts the hypothesis that critical periods end later at higher levels of the system.
