Paper review: Neural Reorganization Following Sensory Loss: The Opportunity of Change

Merabet, L. B. & Pascual-Leone A. Neural Reorganization Following Sensory Loss: The Opportunity of Change, Nature Reviews Neuroscience, vol 11, pp 44-52, 2009 It is apparent from a long growing mass of evidences that the part of a brain responsible for processing information from a particular sensory channel gets recruited for other activities after loss of that particular channel. This phenomenon is referred to as “neuroplastic” behavior of brain. When it contributes to the improvement of other sensory channels, it is called “crossmodal neuroplasticity”. This paper refers to a considerable amount of reported evidences on crossmodal neuroplasticity following sensory deprivation and came …
