critical period development

Excellent work. Critical period development is so ... well, critical to how any person is going to develop in life, increased understanding of all brain development during this period is essential, IMO. As amygdala and hippocampal functioning places such crucial roles in so much of our lives, then obviously how these are developing at the infant stage is very important to understand.
