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 …

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 …

When the brain is deprived of input from one sensory modality, it often compensates with
supranormal performance in one or more of the intact sensory systems. In the absence of …

The possibility that, following early auditory deprivation, the remaining senses such as vision
are enhanced has been met with much excitement. However, deaf individuals exhibit both …

Cortical cross-modal re-organization, or recruitment of auditory cortical areas for visual
processing, has been well-documented in deafness. However, the degree of sensory …

To investigate neural plasticity resulting from early auditory deprivation and use of American
Sign Language, we measured responses to visual stimuli in deaf signers, hearing signers …

Purpose Deaf children are frequently reported to be at risk for difficulties in executive
function (EF); however, the literature is divided over whether these difficulties are the result …

After more than 30 years of systematic research conducted mainly on the visual abilities of
profoundly deaf individuals, it is apparent that the long-standing debate as to whether …

Background Early deafness leads to enhanced attention in the visual periphery. Yet,
whether this enhancement confers advantages in everyday life remains unknown, as deaf …

We examined the hypothesis that aspects of processing that are most modifiable by
experience (ie,“plastic”) display the most vulnerability in developmental disorders and the …
