Spoken language comprehension activates the primary visual cortex

2020-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Primary visual cortex (V1) is generally thought of as a low-level sensory area that primarily processes basic visual features. However, in congenitally blind individuals, V1 is involved in language processing, with no evidence of major changes in anatomical connectivity that could explain this seemingly drastic functional change. This is at odds with current accounts of neural plasticity, which emphasize the role...
