DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.12.053
Abstract: ABSTRACT Resting‐state functional connectivity (RSFC) studies have provided strong evidences that visual deprivation influences the brain's functional architecture. In particular, reduced RSFC coupling between occipital (visual) and temporal (auditory) regions has been reliably observed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.06.009
Abstract: ABSTRACT It is well known that congenitally blind adults have enhanced auditory processing for some tasks. For instance, they show supra‐normal capacity to perceive accelerated speech. However, only a few studies have investigated basic auditory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2019/2747460
Abstract: Although evidence from studies on blind adults indicates that visual deprivation early in life leads to structural and functional disruption and reorganization of the brain, whether young blind people show similar patterns remains unknown. Therefore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/8034757
Abstract: Blindness studies are important models for the comprehension of human brain development and reorganization, after visual deprivation early in life. To investigate the global and local topologic alterations and to identify specific reorganized neural patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/8550714
Abstract: Objective This study is aimed at exploring the regional changes in brain cortical morphology (thickness, volume, and surface area) in the early-blind adolescents (EBAs) by using the surface-based morphometric (SBM) method. Methods High-resolution structural T1-weighted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.3.25
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Previous studies have shown increased sensitivity to auditory motion in early blind (EB) individuals. However, the mechanisms underlying this enhanced performance remains unknown. We estimated auditory motion filters in EB using a psychophysical reverse… read more here.
