Leggere Braille modifica le mappe cerebrali grazie alla neuroplasticità

Second-year students in the Physiotherapy degree program at Sapienza University of Rome's San Filippo Neri University have produced a short video lesson on the 1993 scientific paper by Alvaro Pascual-Leone and Fernando Torres, which highlights the plastic changes in the sensorimotor cortex in blind subjects who habitually read Braille. This research is extremely important in the field of brain-injured rehabilitation, as sensory training could open up new recovery opportunities in hemiplegic patients by exploiting neuroplasticity.
