Sensory deprivation enhances responses to visual and somatosensory stimuli in the deprived auditory cortex.
BOLD-fMRI measured brain activity in mice, showing significant cross-modal plasticity post-deafening.
Functional imaging revealed widespread cortical and thalamic reorganization following auditory input loss.
Findings indicate that even in adulthood, sensory deprivation can drive extensive functional reorganization.
