“…The possibility of restoring vision in patients suffering from congenital or early onset blindness through cataract removal or corneal transplantation offers the possibility of exploring which visual functions retain the potentiality to recover and which are compromised by the lack of developmental visual inputs (for reviews, see Bavelier, Levi, Li, Dan, & Hensch, 2010;Huxlin, 2008;Levin, Dumoulin, Winawer, Dougherty, & Wandell, 2010; T. L. Lewis & Maurer, 2009;Maurer, Lewis, & Mondloch, 2005;Maurer, Mondloch, & Lewis, 2007;Merabet & Pascual-Leone, 2010;Sabel, 2008). The data from unimodal visual studies suggest that the neural circuits that process different visual functions can be differentially affected by visual deprivation and follow different lines of recovery, as a function of the age at which surgery occurs (Hensch, 2005;Hook & Chen, 2007;Jain, Ashworth, Biswas, & Lloyd, 2010;Ostrovsky, Andalman, & Sinha, 2006) and the remaining capacity of visual leaming (Fine et al, 2003). Until recently, the consequences of the re-afferentation of visual inputs after a period of visual deprivation on multisensory integration had never been explored.…”
