[HTML][HTML] Neuroplasticity in adult human visual cortex
Abstract Between 1-5: 100 people worldwide have never experienced normotypic vision due
to a condition called amblyopia, and about 1: 4000 suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies …

Are critical periods reversible in the adult brain? Insights on cortical specializations based on sensory deprivation studies
We review here studies with visual and auditory deprived/recovery populations to argue for
the need of a redefinition of the crucial role of unisensory-specific experiences during critical …

Auditory motion in the sighted and blind: early visual deprivation triggers a large-scale imbalance between auditory and “visual” brain regions
How early blindness reorganizes the brain circuitry that supports auditory motion processing
remains controversial. We used fMRI to characterize brain responses to in-depth, laterally …

[HTML][HTML] Visual motion processing recruits regions selective for auditory motion in early deaf individuals
In early deaf individuals, the auditory deprived temporal brain regions become engaged in
visual processing. In our study we tested further the hypothesis that intrinsic functional …
