Abstract
Commentary: "Compensatory plasticity: time matters".
Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience, a section of the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience
While retinal implants are just becoming available in a clinical setting (Zrenner et al, 2010), cochlear implants (CIs) have been offered since the 1980s (Clark, 2003)
Plasticity is especially strong when sensory deprivation occurs at early stages of development
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience, a section of the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. This plastic reorganization develops as a function of time. A recent review on plasticity in the blind (Lazzouni and Lepore, 2014) stressed the importance of critical periods and the influence of the duration of sensory deprivation on the re-organization of sensory cortices.
