| Lindsay B Lewis, Melissa Saenz, Ione Fin. Mechanisms of cross-modal plasticity in early-blind subjects. Journal of neurophysiology. vol 104. issue 6. 2011-05-09. PMID:20668272. |
as expected, cross-modal responses were larger in blind than in sighted subjects in occipital cortex for all tasks (cross-modal plasticity). |

| Amir Amedi, Noa Raz, Haim Azulay, Rafael Malach, Ehud Zohar. Cortical activity during tactile exploration of objects in blind and sighted humans. Restorative neurology and neuroscience. vol 28. issue 2. 2010-07-13. PMID:20404404. |
however, if the occipital cortex is genuinely active during touch, this might be the basis for the massive cross-modal plasticity observed in the congenitally blind. |

| Frédéric Gougoux, Pascal Belin, Patrice Voss, Franco Lepore, Maryse Lassonde, Robert J Zatorr. Voice perception in blind persons: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study. Neuropsychologia. vol 47. issue 13. 2009-12-15. PMID:19576235. |
this increased recruitment of sts areas in the blind for voice processing is in marked contrast with the usual cross-modal recruitment of occipital cortex. |

| Markus Bauer, Robert Oostenveld, Pascal Frie. Tactile stimulation accelerates behavioral responses to visual stimuli through enhancement of occipital gamma-band activity. Vision research. vol 49. issue 9. 2009-08-05. PMID:19324067. |
while also other stimulus related responses in occipital cortex were modulated (alpha-band and evoked responses in parieto-occipital region), correlation-analysis revealed induced gamma-band activity to be the best predictor of the faster behavioral response latencies, suggesting a key-role of oscillatory activity for cross-modal integration. |

| Maurice Ptito, Solvej M Moesgaard, Albert Gjedde, Ron Kuper. Cross-modal plasticity revealed by electrotactile stimulation of the tongue in the congenitally blind. Brain : a journal of neurology. vol 128. issue Pt 3. 2005-03-28. PMID:15634727. |
these data reveal that cross-modal plasticity in the blind develops rapidly and that the occipital cortex is part of a functional neural network for tactile discrimination in conjunction with the posterior parietal cortex. |

| R Chen, L G Cohen, M Hallet. Nervous system reorganization following injury. Neuroscience. vol 111. issue 4. 2002-08-28. PMID:12031403. |
in early-blind subjects, the occipital cortex plays an important role in braille reading, suggesting that there is cross-modal plasticity. |

| A G De Volder, M Catalan-Ahumada, A Robert, A Bol, D Labar, A Coppens, C Michel, C Veraar. Changes in occipital cortex activity in early blind humans using a sensory substitution device. Brain research. vol 826. issue 1. 1999-06-16. PMID:10216204. |
the metabolic recruitment of the occipital cortex in early blind subjects using a substitution prosthesis could reflect a concurrent stimulation of functional cross-modal sensory connections. |
