DOI: 10.1007/s00429-021-02243-6
Abstract: Several studies have been carried out to verify neural plasticity and the language process in deaf individuals. However, further investigations regarding the intrinsic brain organization on functional and structural neural networks derived from congenital deafness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2022.108157
Abstract: Auditory loss in deaf individuals has been associated with an enhancement in the visual modality. Visual attention is one domain where such plasticity-induced changes have been observed, although which specific attentional mechanisms are improved is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0000654
Abstract: Are emotional expressions shaped by specialized innate mechanisms that guide learning, or do they develop exclusively from learning without innate preparedness? Here we test whether nonverbal affective vocalisations produced by bilaterally congenitally deaf adults contain… read more here.

Welcoming Deaf Students into STEM: Recommendations for University Science Education
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "CBE Life Sciences Education"
DOI: 10.1187/cbe.17-05-0081
Abstract: Scientists are shaped by their unique life experiences and bring these perspectives to their research. Diversity in life and cultural experiences among scientists, therefore, broadens research directions and, ultimately, scientific discoveries. Deaf individuals, for example,… read more here.

Enhancement of visual biological motion recognition in early-deaf adults: Functional and behavioral correlates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0236800
Abstract: Deafness leads to brain modifications that are generally associated with a cross-modal activity of the auditory cortex, particularly for visual stimulations. In the present study, we explore the cortical processing of biological motion that conveyed… read more here.
