Reading Modality Shapes Reading Network in Proficient Blind Readers of Braille

This study compares neural networks for reading visual print and tactile Braille, finding modality-specific patterns in brain activation and connectivity.

A sensitive period in the neural phenotype of language in blind individuals

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.

Neural basis of approximate number system develops independent of visual experience

The paper investigates whether the neural basis of the approximate number system in the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) develops independently of visual experience by comparing sighted and congenitally blind individuals.

Sensitive period for cognitive repurposing of human visual cortex

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.
