The contribution of cross-modal sensory input to reaching and grasping in blind and sighted short-tailed opossums

2026-05-28

Abstract excerpt

Reaching and grasping are essential goal-directed behaviors that require the integration of visual, olfactory, and somatosensory inputs. Although the loss of vision can profoundly disrupt sensory-guided behaviors, mammals often exhibit compensatory cross-modal plasticity allowing them to reach and grasp with ease. To examine how early sensory loss shapes reaching behavior, we performed bilateral enucleations in sh...
