This concept frames neurodevelopment as containing time-limited windows in which environmental insults can have disproportionate effects. The review ties these windows to the emergence of proliferation, migration, differentiation, synaptogenesis, myelination, and apoptosis.

Neural development extends from the embryonic period through adolescence.
Quoted textsource-backed
Evidence from numerous sources demonstrates that neural development extends from the embryonic period through adolescence.
Ontogeny of specific behaviors can be used to infer maturation of specific brain structures or neural circuits in rodents, primates, and humans.

Periods of nervous system development are especially vulnerable to environmental insults because susceptibility depends on the temporal and regional emergence of critical developmental processes.

Vulnerable periods during the development of the nervous system are sensitive to environmental insults because they are dependent on the temporal and regional emergence of critical developmental processes
The sequence of major neurodevelopmental events is broadly comparable among species, although the time scales differ considerably.
