“…Similar evidence of disrupted modular organisation has been reported in cognitive aging (Geerligs et al, 2015), childhood‐onset schizophrenia (Alexander‐Bloch et al, 2010) and autism spectrum disorder (Rudie et al, 2012). In a similar study by Ma et al (2023) using graph theory analysis, adults with C/PD demonstrated weaker frontal–occipital connections in the EEG alpha frequency band compared to hearing peers. The alpha band plays a crucial role in various cognitive functions, including working memory capacity, information processing speed, inhibition and attentional arousal and cognitive preparedness (Foxe & Snyder, 2011).…”

“…Findings of nine studies on adults (Ding et al, 2016; Cardin et al, 2018; Sinke et al, 2019; Bonna et al, 2021; Dell Ducas et al, 2021; Kumar et al, 2021; Andin & Holmer, 2022; Cardin et al, 2023; Ma et al, 2023) and one study on adolescents (Li et al, 2016) with C/PD were in support of the idea that cortical reorganisation following long‐term auditory deprivation is not limited to the auditory cortex and involves brain areas beyond the auditory cortex, which contribute to cognitive processing. In the Kumar et al (2021) study, stronger functional connectivity was observed between the auditory network and the Fusiform gyrus in prelingual deaf adults compared to control peers.…”

“…Overall, brain activity in the alpha band is implicated in preconfiguring attentional and cognitive resources essential for subsequent tasks, thereby facilitating efficient information processing during these tasks. Consequently, the diminished frontal‐occipital connections observed may result in differences in the alerting process for deaf individuals compared to their hearing peers (Ma et al, 2023).…”

Auditory deprivation following congenital/pre‐lingual deafness (C/PD) can drastically affect brain development and its functional organisation. This systematic review intends to extend current knowledge of the impact of C/PD and deafness duration on brain resting‐state networks (RSNs), review changes in RSNs and spoken language outcomes post‐cochlear implant (CI) and draw conclusions for future research. The systematic literature search followed the PRISMA guideline. Two independent reviewers searched four electronic databases using combined keywords: ‘auditory deprivation’, ‘congenital/prelingual deafness’, ‘resting‐state functional connectivity’ (RSFC), ‘resting‐state fMRI’ and ‘cochlear implant’. Seventeen studies (16 cross‐sectional and one longitudinal) met the inclusion criteria. Using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool, the publications' quality was rated between 65.0% and 92.5% (mean: 84.10%), ≥80% in 13 out of 17 studies. A few studies were deficient in sampling and/or ethical considerations. According to the findings, early auditory deprivation results in enhanced RSFC between the auditory network and brain networks involved in non‐verbal communication, and high levels of spontaneous neural activity in the auditory cortex before CI are evidence of occupied auditory cortical areas with other sensory modalities (cross‐modal plasticity) and sub‐optimal CI outcomes. Overall, current evidence supports the idea that moreover intramodal and cross‐modal plasticity, the entire brain adaptation following auditory deprivation contributes to spoken language development and compensatory behaviours.

“…The EEG gathers information on a variety of functions, including attention, memory, and emotions [5]. Accordingly, the EEG elucidates important effects of brain networks on attentional function from the perspective of brain connections and provides potential physiological biomarkers for predicting attention [6]. Resting-state EEG data can delineate inter-individual variability at rest and its correlation with attentional capacity and autistic behavioral patterns [7].…”

Background: Electroencephalogram patterns help in evaluating the extent of ischemic brain injury and predicting functional performance. Aim: To determine a possible correlation between attentional task performance and electroencephalogram waves. Methods: The cerebral activity of 12 healthy young adults was investigated using an electroencephalogram while they underwent the TrailMaking Test-A and B as attentional tasks. Results: A significant correlation was observed between a stronger occipital delta power during rest and higher error rates, as well as weaker temporal and central delta power during the Trail-Making Test-B and longer task completion times. Delta waves during both the resting-state and task conditions correlated with task performance, which might be affected by the induced cerebral lobes. Conclusion: The default mode network might predict attention deficits. Our findings further our understanding of the correlation between the default mode network and attentional task performance

“…Up to now, there are very few studies evaluating the cortical organisation differences of deaf and hearing individuals by means of graph theory: Moreover, these studies focus on resting‐state fMRI (Li et al, 2016), electroencephalography (EEG) (Ma et al, 2023; Sinke et al, 2019) and structural voxel‐based morphometry (Kim et al, 2014). Importantly, none of these studies examined topology changes in functional brain networks in detail.…”

Congenital sensory deprivation induces significant changes in the structural and functional organisation of the brain. These are well‐characterised by cross‐modal plasticity, in which deprived cortical areas are recruited to process information from non‐affected sensory modalities, as well as by other neuroplastic alterations within regions dedicated to the remaining senses. Here, we analysed visual and auditory networks of congenitally deaf and hearing individuals during different visual tasks to assess changes in network community structure and connectivity patterns due to congenital deafness. In the hearing group, the nodes are clearly divided into three communities (visual, auditory and subcortical), whereas in the deaf group a fourth community consisting mainly of bilateral superior temporal sulcus and temporo‐insular regions is present. Perhaps more importantly, the right lateral geniculate body, as well as bilateral thalamus and pulvinar joined the auditory community of the deaf. Moreover, there is stronger connectivity between bilateral thalamic and pulvinar and auditory areas in the deaf group, when compared to the hearing group. No differences were found in the number of connections of these nodes to visual areas. Our findings reveal substantial neuroplastic changes occurring within the auditory and visual networks caused by deafness, emphasising the dynamic nature of the sensory systems in response to congenital deafness. Specifically, these results indicate that in the deaf but not the hearing group, subcortical thalamic nuclei are highly connected to auditory areas during processing of visual information, suggesting that these relay areas may be responsible for rerouting visual information to the auditory cortex under congenital deafness.
