Revisiting the adaptive and maladaptive effects of crossmodal plasticity
One of the most striking demonstrations of experience-dependent plasticity comes from
studies of sensory-deprived individuals (eg, blind or deaf), showing that brain regions …

[HTML][HTML] Linking neocortical, cognitive, and genetic variability in autism with alterations of brain plasticity: the Trigger-Threshold-Target model
The phenotype of autism involves heterogeneous adaptive traits (strengths vs. disabilities),
different domains of alterations (social vs. non-social), and various associated genetic …

Synchronization to auditory and visual rhythms in hearing and deaf individuals
A striking asymmetry in human sensorimotor processing is that humans synchronize
movements to rhythmic sound with far greater precision than to temporally equivalent visual …

Future directions for neurodiversity affirming autism interventions: Adolescence is a second sensitive period to support positive developmental trajectories
Neurodiversity affirming frameworks are a paradigm shift from a deficit-focused
conceptualization of autism towards recognition of autism as a heterogeneous constellation …

[ספר][B] Perception: A multisensory perspective
The way that we interact with the environment on a daily basis is inherently multisensory.
Even a simple task such as judging the location of a light in a dark room depends not only …

Enhanced tactile identification of musical emotion in the deaf
Functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that following deafness, auditory
regions can respond to tactile stimuli. However, research to date has not conclusively …

Multisensory representations of space and time in sensory cortices
Clear evidence demonstrated a supramodal organization of sensory cortices with
multisensory processing occurring even at early stages of information encoding. Within this …

Dissecting neural circuits for multisensory integration and crossmodal processing
We rely on rich and complex sensory information to perceive and understand our
environment. Our multisensory experience of the world depends on the brain's remarkable …

Deaf, blind or deaf-blind: Is touch enhanced?
When someone looses one type of sensory input, s/he may compensate by using the
sensory information conveyed by other senses. To verify whether loosing a sense or two has …

Sensory loss enhances multisensory integration performance
Auditory and visual sensory loss has repeatedly been shown to alter abilities in remaining
sensory modalities. It is, however, unclear whether sensory loss also impacts multisensory …
