Journal ArticleDOI
The plastic human brain cortex.
TL;DR: The challenge the authors face is to learn enough about the mechanisms of plasticity to modulate them to achieve the best behavioral outcome for a given subject.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical research with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): Challenges and future directions
Andre R. Brunoni,Michael A. Nitsche,Nadia Bolognini,Marom Bikson,Tim Wagner,Lotfi B. Merabet,Dylan J. Edwards,Antoni Valero-Cabré,Alexander Rotenberg,Alvaro Pascual-Leone,Roberta Ferrucci,Alberto Priori,Paulo S. Boggio,Felipe Fregni +13 more
TL;DR: A workgroup of researchers in the field was convened to review, discuss, and provide updates and key challenges of tDCS use in clinical research, and some alternative methods to facilitate clinical research on tDCS are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural reorganization following sensory loss: the opportunity of change.
TL;DR: Crossmodal neuroplasticity with regards to behavioural adaptation after sensory deprivation is discussed and the possibility of maladaptive consequences within the context of rehabilitation is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Topography of Human Intraparietal Sulcus
TL;DR: The topography of a series of five maps of the contralateral visual hemifield within human posterior parietal cortex are detailed, allowing these parietal regions to be routinely and reliably identified simultaneously with occipital visual areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape conveyed by visual-to-auditory sensory substitution activates the lateral occipital complex.

TL;DR: The lateral-occipital tactile-visual area is also activated in sighted and blind humans who recognize objects by extracting shape information from visual-to-auditory sensory substitution soundscapes, suggesting that LOtv is driven by the presence of shape information.
