Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

Crossmodal plasticity is a textbook example of the ability of the brain to reorganize based on
use. We review evidence from the auditory system showing that such reorganization has …

Objectives To examine patterns of change and plateau in speech recognition scores in
postlingually hearing impaired adult cochlear implant recipients. The study also examines …

Background: Bottom-up spectro-temporal processing, assessed using a Spectral-Temporally
Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT), is associated with CI speech recognition outcomes …

The influence of sensory experience on cortical feedforward and feedback interactions has
rarely been studied in the auditory cortex. Previous work has documented a dystrophic effect …

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 …

Sensory experience shapes brain structure and function, and it is likely to influence the
organisation of functional networks of the brain, including those involved in cognitive …

Congenital blindness leads to profound changes in electroencephalographic (EEG) resting
state activity. A well-known consequence of congenital blindness in humans is the reduction …

Humans with a transient phase of congenital pattern vision deprivation have been observed
to feature prevailing deficits, particularly in higher order visual functions. However, the …

Persistent visual impairments after congenital blindness due to dense bilateral cataracts
have been attributed to altered visual cortex development within a sensitive period. Occipital …
