Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset deafness - Scientific Reports
When deprived of a sensory modality, the brain often compensates with supranormal performance in other intact systems. While this compensatory plasticity is typically attributed to early sensory loss, plasticity following adult-onset sensory loss remains poorly understood despite its clinical relevance. In many patients, adult-onset hearing loss precedes treatment by cochlear implantation, yet little is known about the neural changes occurring before this intervention. The present study examine…
