Why is the visual cortex activated when blind people read braille?
When blind people read Braille, the tactile information from their fingers is processed in the somatosensory cortex. However, the visual cortex may also be activated due to cross-modal reorganization, where the brain repurposes areas originally dedicated to vision to process tactile information in blind individuals. This phenomenon reflects neuroplasticity in response to sensory deprivation.
Why has hemispheric specialization evolved?
It evolved due to neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity games can be found on many websites. These websites include, but are not limited to Brain Training Games, Mind 360, SharpBrains and Amazon.
What is Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to re-organize itself by forming new neural connections in response to injury, dysfunction, new experiences or sensory stimulation. Recent studies have showed that the brain ca rewire and restructure itself. The neurons located in the brain can build new or remodel old connections, can generate new paths through the cortex and assume new roles. According to this principle if part of the brain is damaged, it can be possible to train other areas to assume its roles and functions. This is often referred to as "rewireing the brain". Neuroplasticity can result in one region of the brain colonizing another with effects on mental and physical function.
