Crossmodal plasticity refers to the reorganisation of sensory cortices in the absence of their typical main sensory input. Understanding this phenomenon provides insights into brain function and its potential for change and enhancement. Using fMRI, we investigated how early deafness influences crossmodal plasticity and the organisation of executive functions in the adult human brain. Deaf (N = 25; age: mean = 41.68, range = 19-66, SD = 14.38; 16 female, 9 male) and hearing (N = 20; age: mean= 37.50, range= 18-66, SD= 16.85; 15 female, 5 male) participants performed four visual tasks tapping into different components of executive processing: task switching, working memory, planning and inhibition. Our results show that deaf individuals speci...
