• Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “In addition, it has been proposed that in the case of blindness, responsiveness to other than visual stimulation in visual cortex may be due to the disinhibition of existing cross-modal connections and/or the creation of new connectivity patterns (Amedi et al., 2005).”
• A ventral visual stream reading center independent of visual experience. (2011, unknown): “One would expect this area to be at either parietal or bilateral occipital cortex, reflecting the tactile nature of the task and crossmodal plasticity, respectively [7, 8].”
