Brain development: critical periods for cross-sensory plasticity

Maria Concetta Morrone. Curr Biol. .

Abstract

Recent work has shown that visual deprivation of humans during a critical period leads to motion area MT+ responding to auditory motion. This cross-sensory plasticity, an important form of brain reorganization, may be mediated by top-down brain circuits from pre-frontal cortex.
