@layerfmri.bsky.social7/7 The study was carried out at the MRI center @giga-crc-hi.bsky.social and supported by #FNRS @uclouvain
Show Post5/7 In conclusion: Early visual deprivation allows auditory info to recruit ascending, feedforward pathways. In congenital blindness, the occipital cortex switches from vision to audition while preserving its functional architecture.
Show Post4/7 What we found: In early-blind participants, auditory motion produced a feedforward-like laminar profile in hMT+/V5 remarkably similar to the profile of visual motion in sighted people.
Show Post3/7 Why look at cortical layers? Feedforward and feedback inputs leave unique laminar signatures. Beyond asking if a region show enhanced responses to another modality, 7T layer-fMRI reveals HOW that information actually enters the cortical circuitry.
Show Post2/7 We have known for more than 3 decades that the occipital cortex of early blind people enhances its response to sounds. In particular, moving (vs static) sounds recruit hMT+/V5, a region typically engaged in processing visual motion in sighted. A result we again reproduce in our study.
