On specification and the senses
TA Stoffregen, BG Bardy - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2001 - cambridge.org
In this target article we question the assumption that perception is divided into separate
domains of vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. We review implications of this …

Cortical GABAergic Interneurons in Cross‐Modal Plasticity following Early Blindness
S Desgent, M Ptito - Neural plasticity, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Early loss of a given sensory input in mammals causes anatomical and functional
modifications in the brain via a process called cross‐modal plasticity. In the past four …

Altered expression of parvalbumin and calbindin in interneurons within the primary visual cortex of neonatal enucleated hamsters
In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the expression of calcium binding
proteins (CaBPs), parvalbumin (PV), calretinin (CR) and calbindin (CB), is dependent upon …

We are better off without perfect perception
E Brenner, JBJ Smeets - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2001 - cambridge.org
Stoffregen & Bardy's target article is based on the assumption that our senses' ultimate
purpose is to provide us with perfect information about the outside world. We argue that it is …
