Crossmodal reorganisation in deafness: mechanisms for functional preservation and functional change
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews. 2020. Vol. 113. P. 227–237.
The study of deafness and blindness has contributed unique knowledge to our understanding of the brain, showing that environmental experience critically shapes neural structure and function. Nevertheless, the most prevalent theories of crossmodal plasticity propose opposing views about the function of reorganised cortical regions. Some theories agree on functional preservation, where in the absence of early sensory stimulation, cortical regions respond to a different sensory modality, but perform the same function. Others propose that the absence of sensory stimulation from birth results in cortical regions changing their “typical” sensory processing function to higher-order cognition. Both deafness and blindness have provided vast evidence in support of each of these theories. Here we use examples from the study of deafness to explore organisational mechanisms that would allow functional preservation and functional change to co-exist either in the same or adjacent regions. We provide a set of predictions and testable hypotheses that support each of these accounts, and lay out some steps that could move us towards more specific theories of cortical reorganisation.

Contemporary scholarly discourse on gender-inclusive communication remains predominantly descriptive, often avoiding a systematic critical analysis of its internal contradictions and social consequences. However, the growing social tension around new linguistic norms, their ideologization, and direct impact on public institutions demand unbiased examination. The aim of this article is to identify and analyze the key paradoxes ...

The neural mechanisms underlying the involvement of different working memory components remain unclear. We investigated oscillatory activity during verbal-spatial WM tasks involving either simple retention or complex manipulation. Using MEG, we examined differences in sensor-level activity across conditions in 29 participants. No significant differences were found between simple verbal and spatial storage. Complex tasks elicited ...

The digital environment surrounds us everywhere. However, little is known about the differences between digital and real environments impact on cognitive functions. Initially, the present study aims to juxtapose attention and working memory (WM) under digital and real conditions. In Experiment 1, attention and WM were compared under real (paper) and digital (computer) conditions using ...

Typing is a multi-level process involving executive and motor functions. Due to its hierarchical organization, it becomes possible to study the psychophysiological features of higher mental functions in the natural environment by analyzing automated motor activity. The purpose of this work is to identify psychophysiological correlates of executive functions through computer typing. This study presents ...

Context and relevance. To date, the study of brain correlates of working memory (WM) is associated with
a number of theoretical as well as methodological difficulties. Firstly, substantially variable tasks are used
to assess WM. Secondly, each neuroimaging method has its own characteristics and limitations. Objective.
The aim of this paper was to systematize the tasks used to ...

We propose a novel biologically plausible computational model of working memory (WM) implemented by a spiking neuron network (SNN) interacting with a network of astrocytes. The SNN is modeled by synaptically coupled Izhikevich neurons with a non-specific architecture connection topology. Astrocytes generating calcium signals are connected by local gap junction diffusive couplings and interact with ...

Modeling the neuronal processes underlying short-term working memory remains the focus of many theoretical studies in neuroscience. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of a spiking neural network (SNN) which simulates the way a fragment of information is maintained as a robust activity pattern for several seconds and the way it completely disappears ...

Mammalian brains operate in very special surroundings: to survive they have to react quickly and effectively to the pool of stimuli patterns previously recognized as danger. Many learning tasks often encountered by living organisms involve a specific set-up centered around a relatively small set of patterns presented in a particular environment. For example, at a ...

Language is a uniquely human cognitive function, which greatly defines and determines our psychological and social traits. Despite the importance of language and speech, they remain among the least understood human cognitive processes, and their neurobiological underpinnings are still poorly understood.

The primary motor cortex takes part in various stages of language learning accompanied by human motor activity. However, previous studies of causal relationships between the activation of primary motor cortex and efficiency of language tasks reveal contradictory results, likely due to diverging learning environments and specific movement patterns required by different experimental designs. The goal ...

The present study investigates the contextual cueing effect under different levels of object working memory (WM) load. According to this effect, repeated exposure to a particular configuration of target objects and distractors leads to a decrease in target retrieval time. At the same time, subjects could not distinguish between «old» and «new» configurations, suggesting that ...
