Background: Auditory deprivation alters cortical and subcortical brain regions, primarily
linked to auditory and language processing, resulting in behavioral consequences …

Hearing loss is a heterogeneous disorder thought to affect brain reorganization across the
lifespan. Here, structural alterations of the brain due to hearing loss are assessed by using …

Background Although local features of brain morphology have been widely investigated in
neuroscience, the inter-regional relations in brain morphology have rarely been …

Alterations of brain structure and functional connectivity have been described in patients
with hearing impairments due to distinct pathogenesis; however, the influence of unilateral …

Background: DeaFNess Autosomal dominant 9 (DFNA9) is a hereditary disorder known to
affect both hearing and vestibular function in its carriers. Its phenotype is characterized by …

In response to sensory deprivation, the brain adapts according to contemporary demands to
efficiently navigate a modified perceptual environment. This reorganization may result in …

Functional and structural brain alterations in the absence of the auditory input have been
described, but the observed structural brain changes in the deaf are not uniform. Some of …

Neuroplasticity following deafness has been widely demonstrated in both humans and
animals, but the anatomical substrate of these changes is not yet clear in human brain …

Tinnitus is a bothersome phantom sound percept and its neural correlates are not yet
disentangled. Previously published papers, using [18 F]-fluoro-deoxyglucose positron …

Congenital deafness leads to functional deficits in the auditory cortex for which early
cochlear implantation can effectively compensate. Most of these deficits have been …
