Teaching a tactile alphabet to sighted adults reveals the brain’s unexpected potential for change.

During development, the Xenopus brain improves its ability to discern specific time intervals between sensory inputs of different modalities via the maturation of inhibitory circuits.

Electrophysiological activity indicates superior implicit crossmodal learning in infants and a change in learning mode from infancy to adulthood.

Blind people re-purpose the brain's visual areas for tracking speech rhythm.

A parallel neuronal network architecture ensures control of basic feeding reflex circuits via integration of crossmodal sensory information to filter multiple biological events and enhance meaningful behavioral choice.

Colored surfaces induce strong gamma-synchronization yet sparse firing in V1 when receptive field inputs are predicted from the surrounding spatial context.

The categorical organization of the ventral occipito-temporal cortex, typically thought to be a visual region, is actually partially independent of visual input and even visual experience.

Individuals with reversed congenital cataracts perceived visual events as occurring earlier than auditory and tactile events revealing that cross-modal temporal biases depend on sensory experience during an early sensitive period.

Sleep and wake states are not sufficient to drive changes in neocortical synaptic strengths.

A new computational model reveals how implicit sensorimotor adaptation is elicited to re-align one's felt and desired hand position.
