Primary and higher-order thalamic nuclei make distinct contributions to cortical reorganization in congenital sensory loss

Congenital sensory loss reveals how experience shapes the brain organization, yet most accounts of such plasticity have focused on cortex rather than the thalamic systems that link sensory input, cortical development, and distributed net…

Congenital sensory loss reveals how experience shapes the brain organization, yet most accounts of such plasticity have focused on cortex rather than the thalamic systems that link sensory input, cortical development, and distributed networks. Here, we tested whether primary and…
