Progress in biomedical technology (cochlear, vestibular, and retinal implants) has led to
remarkable success in neurosensory restoration, particularly in the auditory system …

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

Cortical development is dependent on stimulus-driven learning. The absence of sensory
input from birth, as occurs in congenital deafness, affects normal growth and connectivity …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

The article reviews evidence for sensitive periods in the sensory systems and considers their
neuronal mechanisms from the viewpoint of the system's neuroscience. It reviews the …

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 …

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

The modern cochlear implant (CI) is the most successful neural prosthesis developed to
date. CIs provide hearing to the profoundly hearing impaired and allow the acquisition of …

Using a visual-to-auditory sensory-substitution algorithm, congenitally fully blind adults were
taught to read and recognize complex images using" soundscapes"—sounds …

This review explores cross-modal cortical plasticity as a result of auditory deprivation in
populations with hearing loss across the age spectrum, from development to adulthood …
