Okay, so I'm just a 17 year old high school kid, but I want to major in neuroscience and have already read a substantial amount of material on the subject.

I've done a lot of research on critical periods and how it relates to neurological development and learning. What are your takes on Critical Periods versus Sensitive Periods? Does your brain model learn like an actual one does (forming synapses and such)? Do you believe that ability to onset a second critical period will lead to finding cures for autism? What is the next big question in neuroscience (What topic are people being drawn to in the field)?
