A thalamocortical pathway for fast rerouting of tactile information to occipital cortex in congenital blindness

A thalamocortical pathway for fast rerouting of tactile information to occipital cortex in congenital blindness

In congenitally blind people, tactile stimuli can activate the occipital (visual) cortex. Here, the authors show using magnetoencephalography (MEG) that occipital activation can occur within 35 ms following tactile stimulation, suggesting the existence of a fast thalamocortical pathway for touch in...
