Abstract

Recent studies suggest that the auditory cortex may use sensory processing strategies analogous to those already established for the visual cortex. Nevertheless, fundamental differences in the way the visual and auditory worlds are structured have to be borne in mind.

Neuro-functional imaging and profound deafness.

This paper deals with the subject of the place of neuro-functional imaging in cochlear implantation. Neuro-functional imaging is a means to assess the functioning of the brain in some normal or pathological conditions. Deafness is a model of sensorineural deprivation. Cochlear implantation offers to clinicians and neuroscientists a model for understanding influence of deafness on cerebral connectivity, and to assess mechanisms of plasticity when the auditory inputs are given again to a deaf cochlea. This paper proposes a brief review of the literature on cochlear implantation and neuro-functional imaging. Patients can be scanned pre- or post-operatively, thus different questions can be investigated about neurobiology of the consequences of deafness and auditory rehabilitation by cochlear implantation, and about the possible role of neuro-functional imaging in cochlear implant candidates to predict the future benefit of the implantation.
