Deprivation-induced cortical reorganization in children with cochlear implants

A Sharma, PM Gilley, MF Dorman… - International journal of …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
A basic finding in developmental neurophysiology is that some areas of the cortex cortical
areas will reorganize following a period of stimulus deprivation. In this review, we discuss …
