Crossmodal Recruitment of the Ventral Visual Stream in Congenital Blindness by Maurice Ptito, Isabelle Matteau, Arthur Zhi Wang, Olaf B. Paulson, Hartwig R. Siebner, Ron Kupers

“…Congenitally blind and blindfolded sighted control subjects were scanned after they had been trained during four consecutive days to perform a tactile-form recognition task with the tongue display unit (TDU). Both groups learned the task at the same rate. In line with our hypothesis, the fMRI data showed that during nonhaptic shape recognition, blind subjects activated large portions of the ventral visual stream, including the cuneus, precuneus, inferotemporal (IT), cortex, lateral occipital tactile vision area (LOtv), and fusiform gyrus. …”
