Critical and sensitive periods for reversing the effects of mechanosensory deprivation on development in Caenorhabditis elegans

Sensory experience at different stages during development can alter structures and functions of the nervous system in different ways suggesting that the timing of the occurring experience is critical. In these studies, I used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to demonstrate...
