Changes in primary visual and auditory cortex of blind and sighted adults following 10 weeks of click-based echolocation training

Changes in primary visual and auditory cortex of blind and sighted adults following 10 weeks of click-based echolocation training

Recent work suggests that the adult human brain is very adaptable when it comes to sensory processing. In this context, it has also been suggested that structural “blueprints” may fundamentally constrain neuroplastic change, e.g. in response to sensory deprivation. (Lire plus...)

Human click-based echolocation: Effects of blindness and age, and real-life implications in a 10-week training program

Understanding the factors that determine if a person can successfully learn a novel sensory skill is essential for understanding how the brain adapts to change, and for providing rehabilitative support for people with sensory loss.
