TL;DR: It is concluded that blindness from an early age can cause the visual cortex to be recruited to a role in somatosensory processing and proposed that this cross-modal plasticity may account in part for the superior tactile perceptual abilities of blind subjects.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the intracortical mechanisms for inhibition and facilitation in different motor representations are not related to the strength of corticospinal projections.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the deafferented motor cortex becomes modifiable by inputs that are normally subthreshold for inducing changes in excitability.

TL;DR: High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was used to study the role of the mesial frontocentral cortex (including the supplementary motor area) in the organization of sequential finger movements of different complexity in humans, indicating a critical role in the organizations of forthcoming movements in complex motor sequences that are rehearsed from memory and fit into a precise timing plan.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that motor reorganization after lower-limb amputation occurs predominately at the cortical level, and the mechanisms involved are likely to include reduction of GABAergic inhibition.
