Visual cortex activation decrement following cochlear implantation in prelingual deafened children

Visual take-over of the auditory cortex in prelingual deaf children has been widely reported. However, there have been few studies on visual cortex plasticity after cochlear implantation (CI). In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that extrinsic auditory stimulation following CI in prelingual deafened children can induce visual cortex plasticity.
