From: Structural reorganization of the early visual cortex following Braille training in sighted adults
Tactile Braille training induces white matter reorganization in the peripheral early visual cortex. (a) Fractional anisotropy (FA) changes in the experimental group, following the tactile Braille training. (b) Individual subjects’ FA changes in the early visual cluster depicted in (a). (c) Centres of gravity (COG) of white matter and grey matter reorganization in the early visual cortex. White matter and grey matter changes are depicted in blue and red respectively. The COGs are illustrated as 6 mm spheres. (d) The results of ROI analysis in the early visual cortex. Thresholds: (a) p < 0.001, corrected for multiple comparisons using a cluster extent of p < 0.05. Results have been thickened for visualization purposes using the standard tbss_fill FSL command, and overlaid on the subjects’ mean FA skeleton (d) ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. The dotted line denotes a time x group interaction. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
