It has research shown that the functional areas of the brain are not immutable. The researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to scan the visual areas of the brain of natural blind people while they performed sentence comprehension tasks. If the brain visual cortex had language processing ability, it would show the same sensitivity to language information as the classical language areas of the brain. The results showed that visual areas of the brain were sensitive to sentence structure and meaning.
ual cortex of naturally blind people can process language.
The study showed activity phenomenon in the left visual cortex when the blind were performing a braille reading task.
