The Research Topic aimed at providing new insights into the impact of sensory deprivation on
spatio-temporal abilities and their subtending cortical circuits. The Research Topic attracted a wide
range of submissions across the spectrum of this theme, and overall, all the submitted papers fall
within one of the following topic contributions: (a) papers identifying impaired/preserved abilities
after a sensory loss/deprivation; (b) papers investigating cortical plasticity and reorganization
mechanisms following sensory loss/deprivation; (c) papers presenting newly developed tools to
assess and/or train spatial impairments resulting from sensory loss/deprivation. With this editorial,
we intend to discuss the findings of the submitted contributions within the broader context of the
literature on the theme by considering the three above-mentioned main contribution categorie
