SUMMARY:Age Dependent Learning Plasticity in Humans
DESCRIPTION:Critical phases in human development are epochs in life during 
 which experience is necessary to allow for a full development of brain func
 tions and related behavior. The behavioral and neuroscientific investigatio
 n of humans, who are permanently blind and either became blind at birth or 
 later in life uncover the adaptivity of the structural and functional organ
 ization of the human brain in childhood and adulthood, respectively. For ex
 ample, blind humans often show superior capabilities in their remaining sen
 ses which are based on a neural reorganization. Moreover, individuals born 
 with total bilateral dense cataracts after sight restoration provide a uniq
 ue opportunity for investigating the neural mechanisms of critical period p
 lasticity in humans. This research contributes to the development of improv
 ed strategies in visual rehabilitation and education.The lecture is jointly
  organised by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German National 
 Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. \n\nContact\n\nDr. Ruth NarmannGerman Natio
