There is also the valproic acid study where the window of the critical period appeared to be reopened in a two week study of 24 adult individuals.

Valproic acid is used as an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer, thought to enhance brain plasticity, and (unfortunately) can cause big problems in livers.

When there is greater understanding of the pathways affected there could be safer options for re-entering the critical period after the window has closed.

(edit: age of critical window discussed in the study here - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnsys.2013.0010...)
