Plasticity is an intrinsic property of the human brain and represents evolution's invention to
enable the nervous system to escape the restrictions of its own genome and thus adapt to …

There is growing evidence that sensory deprivation is associated with crossmodal
neuroplastic changes in the brain. After visual or auditory deprivation, brain areas that are …

Both resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) and transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) are increasingly popular techniques that can be used to non-invasively …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging
studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning …

For human and non-human primates, vision is one of the most privileged sensory channels
used to interact with the environment. The importance of vision is strongly embedded in the …

Contrasting the impact of congenital versus late-onset acquired blindness provides a unique
model to probe how experience at different developmental periods shapes the functional …

Background The loss of vision has been associated with enhanced performance in non-
visual tasks such as tactile discrimination and sound localization. Current evidence suggests …

The objective of this review is to examine and evaluate recent findings on cognitive
functioning (in particular imagery processes) in individuals with congenital visual …

Until only a few decades ago, researchers still considered sensory cortices to be fixed or
“hardwired,” with specific cortical regions solely dedicated to the processing of selective …
