Prevalence of increases in functional connectivity in visual, somatosensory and language areas in congenital blindness

There is ample evidence that congenitally blind individuals rely more strongly on non-visual information compared to sighted controls when interacting with the outside world. Although brain imaging studies indicate that congenitally blind individuals recruit occipital areas when performing various n...
