Abstract:

We used BrainVisa software in an exploratory analysis measuring the depth and sulcal profile of the central sulci of congenitally blind and sighted individuals. We found the greatest differences between the groups at locations on the central sulcus corresponding with the pli de passage fronto-parietal moyen (PPFM), suggesting a cortical reorganization of the primary sensorimotor area of the hand within the central sulcus. This may be in response to the congenitally blind individuals' mastery of Braille or general increase of hand use in everyday life.
