It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

For human and non-human primates, vision is one of the most privileged sensory channels
used to interact with the environment. The importance of vision is strongly embedded in the …

Until only a few decades ago, researchers still considered sensory cortices to be fixed or
“hardwired,” with specific cortical regions solely dedicated to the processing of selective …

The cerebral cortex is organized into specialized sensory areas, whose initial territory is
determined by intracortical molecular determinants. Yet, sensory cortical area size appears …

The neocortex of mammals is composed of cortical fields that have a unique organization
associated with the animal's ecological niche and lifestyle. Each cortical field has a specific …

We investigated the key neurodevelopmental factors that determine cortical thickness,
namely synaptogenesis and regression, by analyzing the thickness of the visual cortex in …

To explore the morphological aspects of the functional reorganization of the blind's visual
cortex, we analyzed the regional cortical thickness and cortical surface area in the …

Studies of area patterning of the neocortex have focused on primary areas, concluding that
the primary visual area, V1, is specified by transcription factors (TFs) expressed by …

The neocortex is the part of the brain that is involved in perception, cognition, and volitional
motor control. In mammals it is a highly dynamic structure that has been dramatically altered …

Blind individuals have to rely on nonvisual information to a greater extent than sighted to
efficiently interact with the environment, and consequently exhibit superior skills in their …
