Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a blind individual who can read Braille, the cortical areas responsible for processing tactile information from the index finger may increase due to increased use for reading Braille. This phenomenon is known as cortical reorganization or plasticity. However, there may not be significant changes in cortical areas responsible for the other fingers or in areas responsible for vision or audition.
