Deaf individuals demonstrated convergence activation in the left superior temporal gyrus, enhancing understanding of communication processing.
The analysis included 14 neuroimaging studies evaluating brain activation during nonverbal communication tasks in adults with prelingual deafness.
Contrary to expectations, deaf adults showed no intramodal activation in the visual cortex during these tasks.
Findings underscore the impact of cortical reorganization on speech perception, especially with cochlear implants.
