Abstract: Cross-modal plasticity in blind individuals has been reported over the past decades showing that non-visual information is carried and processed by ‘visual’ brain structures. However, the structural underpinnings of cross-modal plasticity in congenitally blind individuals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2016.08.012
Abstract: ABSTRACT 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. Cross‐modal plasticity refers to the phenomenon when deprivation in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1146/annurev-neuro-111020-104222
Abstract: Unimodal sensory loss leads to structural and functional changes in both deprived and nondeprived brain circuits. This process is broadly known as cross-modal plasticity. The evidence available indicates that cross-modal changes underlie the enhanced performances… read more here.

DOI: 10.5607/en22020
Abstract: We aimed to evaluate structural dynamic changes of neurons in the auditory cortex after visual deprivation. We longitudinally tracked dendritic spines for 3 weeks after visual deprivation in vivo using a two-photon microscope. GFP-labeled dendritic… read more here.
