➤ When is magnetic resonance angiography appropriate in suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage?
Magnetic resonance angiography suits patients who need to avoid ionizing radiation or iodinated contrast and works well for follow-up of larger aneurysms. In the acute setting, MRA is generally less sensitive than CTA or DSA for small or complex lesions, so it is not the first-line test in unstable or high-risk acute SAH.

➤ How do critical periods differ from sensitive periods?
Critical periods are narrow windows when specific biological events must occur for normal development; missing input can cause irreversible deficits. Sensitive periods are broader and describe times when experience has heightened influence but recovery remains possible. For example, ocular alignment has a critical window, while language shows a prolonged sensitive period with more plasticity.
