Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

While most of the research in blind individuals classically has focused on the compensatory
plastic rearrangements that follow loss of sight, novel behavioral, anatomical and functional …

Humans are thought to have evolved brain regions in the left frontal and temporal cortex that
are uniquely capable of language processing. However, congenitally blind individuals also …

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 …

For centuries, anecdotal evidence such as the perfect pitch of the blind piano tuner or blind
musician has supported the notion that individuals who have lost their sight early in life have …

In this review, we describe crossmodal plasticity following sensory loss in three parts, with
each section focusing on one sensory system. We summarize a wide range of studies …

One of the most striking demonstrations of experience-dependent plasticity comes from
studies of sensory-deprived individuals (eg, blind or deaf), showing that brain regions …

Although cross-modal recruitment of early sensory areas in deafness and blindness is well
established, the constraints and limits of these plastic changes remain to be understood. In …

Postural control (PC) requires the interaction of the three sensory systems for a good
maintenance of the balance, and in blind people, lack of visual input can harm your PC …

One of the most significant effects of neural plasticity manifests in the case of sensory
deprivation when cortical areas that were originally specialized for the functions of the …
