Neural reorganization following sensory loss: the opportunity of change
LB Merabet, A Pascual-Leone - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2010 - nature.com
There is growing evidence that sensory deprivation is associated with crossmodal
neuroplastic changes in the brain. After visual or auditory deprivation, brain areas that are …

Crossmodal reorganization in the early deaf switches sensory, but not behavioral roles of auditory cortex
MA Meredith, J Kryklywy, AJ McMillan… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
It is well known that early disruption of sensory input from one modality can induce
crossmodal reorganization of a deprived cortical area, resulting in compensatory abilities in …

A sensitive period for language in the visual cortex: distinct patterns of plasticity in congenitally versus late blind adults
Recent evidence suggests that blindness enables visual circuits to contribute to language
processing. We examined whether this dramatic functional plasticity has a sensitive period …

Cross-modal activation of auditory regions during visuo-spatial working memory in early deafness
Early deafness can reshape deprived auditory regions to enable the processing of signals
from the remaining intact sensory modalities. Cross-modal activation has been observed in …

Social perception in deaf individuals: A meta‐analysis of neuroimaging studies
Deaf individuals may report difficulties in social interactions. However, whether these
difficulties depend on deafness affecting social brain circuits is controversial. Here, we report …

Brain plasticity can predict the cochlear implant outcome in adult-onset deafness
Sensory plasticity, which is associated with deafness, has not been as thoroughly
investigated in the adult brain as it has in the developing brain. In this study, we examined …

Enhanced spontaneous functional connectivity of the superior temporal gyrus in early deafness
Early auditory deprivation may drive the auditory cortex into cross-modal processing of non-
auditory sensory information. In a recent study, we had shown that early deaf subjects …
