This study tracks cognitive map formation in early- and late-onset blindness using a virtual navigation paradigm, showing slower knowledge accumulation in early blind individuals and reduced pointing accuracy under viewpoint changes.

The paper shows that human cerebral cortex networks use expanding and contracting states to shape cortical functions across different brain states.

This study uses 7 Tesla MRI to find structural brain reductions in congenitally blind individuals compared to sighted controls, including grey and white matter changes across multiple brain regions.
