Profile of the blind subjects.

Note: EB: early blind; all subjects were male and right handed; (*): no additional details available.(**) Behavioral performance in a variety of higher-level odor processing tasks (global percentage of correct answers) before fMRI (see text and Table S1 for details and scores of each task). (°) Behavioral performance in age-matched control was not available for this subject. As subjects EB5 and EB10 had very poor vision from birth and underwent a bilateral eye enucleation by the age of 18–24 months, they were considered early blind. They did not remember any visual experience.
