Adaptive variability in the duration of critical windows of plasticity: Implications for the programming of obesity

5 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

Developmental plasticity underlies widespread associations between early-life exposures and many components of adult phenotype, including the risk of chronic diseases. Humans take almost two decades to reach reproductive maturity, and yet the 'critical windows' of physiological sensitivity that confer developmental plasticity tend to close during fetal life or infancy. While several explanations for lengthy human...
