The paper investigates how emotional expressions are represented in brain networks for facial and vocal signals, finding shared neural codes and multisensory integration across regions.

This study shows that early visual deprivation in humans impairs the early visual cortex but leaves the categorical coding in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex largely unaffected.

This study examines how blindness onset affects sound category representation in occipital and temporal cortices, finding enhanced and stable coding in occipital regions and a reverse pattern in temporal regions in blind individuals.

The paper investigates how early blindness affects brain networks involved in spatial hearing, finding enhanced motion direction coding in hMT+/V5 and reduced coding in hPT in blind individuals.

This study shows that early deafness leads to visual motion processing in auditory motion-selective brain regions and altered functional connectivity between auditory and visual motion areas.

This study identifies direct white matter connections between auditory and visual motion-selective brain regions in humans, proposing a new anatomical pathway called the middle occipito-temporal track.

The paper investigates whether vision is necessary for categorical organization in the VOTC by comparing fMRI responses to sound categories in sighted and blind individuals.

This study uses fMRI to show that the human planum temporale encodes auditory motion directions and sound source locations with partially shared but distinct neural patterns.

The paper shows that early blind individuals show increased occipital cortex activation during subtraction, suggesting reorganized regions take on computational roles related to auditory spatial processing.

This study identifies the right posterior superior temporal sulcus as a site of multisensory integration for emotional expressions from faces and voices.

The paper shows that visual experience influences how the brain remaps touch to external space, with congenitally blind individuals showing different neural activity patterns during hand posture changes.

The paper investigates how early blind individuals process object sounds and voices in the occipito-temporal cortex, finding distinct activation patterns for object sounds that extend into occipital regions.

The paper shows that early deaf individuals exhibit enhanced face processing in the auditory cortex, which typically handles voice processing in hearing people.
