Compensatory Plasticity in the Lateral Extrastriate Visual Cortex Preserves Audiovisual Temporal Processing following Adult-Onset Hearing Loss

Partial hearing loss can cause neurons in the auditory and audiovisual cortices to increase their responsiveness to visual stimuli; however, behavioral studies in hearing-impaired humans and rats have found that the perceptual ability to accurately judge the relative timing of auditory and visual st...
