Alteration of brain resting‐state networks and functional connectivity in prelingual deafness

Early hearing loss causes several changes in the brain structure and function at multiple levels; these changes can be observed through neuroimaging. These changes are directly associated with sensory loss (hearing) and the acquisition of alternative communication strategies. Such plasticity changes in the brain might establish a different connectivity pattern with resting‐state networks (RSNs) and other brain regions. We performed resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) to evaluate these intrinsic modifications.
