This study examines how early visual deprivation affects the excitatory/inhibitory ratio in the visual cortex of humans using MRS and EEG, finding altered E/I ratios and associations with visual acuity.

The paper compares neural responses to visual and non-visual concepts in sighted and congenitally blind individuals, finding that neural representations of visual concepts develop independently of visual experience.

The paper examines alpha oscillations in individuals with congenital cataracts and finds reduced evoked and resting-state alpha activity linked to impaired visual behavior.

The study investigates whether the Size-Weight Illusion is affected by congenital visual deprivation, finding it remains intact in individuals with a history of visual deprivation.

The paper investigates whether the neural basis of language in blind individuals follows a sensitive period by comparing congenitally blind, adult-onset blind, and sighted participants.

The paper investigates whether cognitive repurposing of visual cortex occurs across the lifespan or is restricted to sensitive periods, finding it is limited to congenital blindness.
