Summary
David and Tornton's Nobel Prize winning work showed that the brain is a customized map of the outside world, measuring the amount of activity for specific body parts that compete for space in the brain. Experiments have demonstrated the brain's ability to adapt and change with shifts in attention or experience.

Neuroscientists David Eagleman and Scott Barry Kaufman discuss the concept of the critical period, as researched by Hubel and Weasel, which states that if the brain is deprived of an input during development, it cannot change unless intervened early, highlighting the importance of early intervention in fixing issues like strabismus and cataracts.
