DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\nCortical plasticity is the neural mechanism by whi
 ch the cerebrum adapts itself to its environment\, while at the same time 
 making it vulnerable to impoverished sensory or developmental experiences.
  Like the visual system\, auditory development passes through a series of 
 sensitive periods in which circuits and connections are established and th
 en refined by experience. Current research is expanding our understanding 
 of cerebral processing and organization in the deaf. In the congenitally d
 eaf\, higher-order areas of 'deaf' auditory cortex demonstrate significant
  crossmodal plasticity with neurons responding to visual and somatosensory
  stimuli. This crucial cerebral function results in compensatory plasticit
 y. Not only can the remaining inputs reorganize to substitute for those lo
 st\, but this additional circuitry also confers enhanced abilities to the 
 remaining systems. In this presentation we will review our present underst
 anding of the structure and function of “deaf” auditory cortex using psych
 ophysical\, electrophysiological\, and connectional anatomy approaches and
  consider how this knowledge informs our expectations of the capabilities 
 of cochlear implants in the developing brain.\n\nThis seminar will take pl
 ace in-person and on line (details in attached poster below)\n
