Abstract

The human brain shows extensive development of the cerebral cortex after birth. This is extensively altered by the absence of auditory input: the development of cortical synapses in the auditory system is delayed and their degradation is increased. Recent work shows that the synapses responsible for corticocortical processing of stimuli and their embedding into multisensory interactions and cognition are particularly affected. Since the brain is heavily reciprocally interconnected, inborn deafness manifests not only in deficits in auditory processing, but also in cognitive (non-auditory) functions that are affected differently between individuals. It requires individualized approaches in therapy of deafness in childhood.

Key words

Deafness - cochlear implantation - development - cerebral cortex - synaptogenesis
