Journal ArticleDOI

Phantom pain is associated with preserved structure and function in the former hand area

TL;DR: It is proposed that contrary to the maladaptive model, cortical plasticity associated with phantom pain is driven by powerful and long-lasting subjective sensory experience, such as triggered by nociceptive or top–down inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reassessing cortical reorganization in the primary sensorimotor cortex following arm amputation

TL;DR: The brain’s ability to reorganise itself is key to the authors' recovery from injuries, but the subsequent mismatch between old and new organisation may lead to pain, so a ‘maladaptive plasticity’ theory is argued against by showing that phantom pain in upper limb amputees is independent of cortical remapping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deprivation-related and use-dependent plasticity go hand in hand

TL;DR: It is shown that adaptive patterns of limb usage after amputation drive cortical plasticity, and how experience-driven plasticity in the human brain can transcend boundaries that have been thought to limit reorganisation after sensory deprivation in adults is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Network-level reorganisation of functional connectivity following arm amputation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used resting-state fMRI to identify large-scale reorganisation beyond the primary sensorimotor cortex in arm amputees, compared with two-handed controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Artificial limb representation in amputees

TL;DR: Study of individuals with congenital or acquired hand-loss using functional MRI shows that prosthesis usage shapes brain activity and connectivity and neural resources can be repurposed to support artificial limbs.
