Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Cortical Representation of the Fingers of the Left Hand in String Players
TL;DR: The results suggest that the representation of different parts of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex of humans depends on use and changes to conform to the current needs and experiences of the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phantom-limb pain as a perceptual correlate of cortical reorganization following arm amputation
Herta Flor,Thomas Elbert,Stefan Knecht,Christian Wienbruch,Christo Pantev,Niels Birbaumer,Wolfgang Larbig,Edward Taub +7 more
TL;DR: A very strong direct relationship is reported between the amount of cortical reorganization and the magnitude of phantom limb pain (but not non-painful phantom phenomena) experienced after arm amputation, indicating that phantom-limb pain is related to, and may be a consequence of, plastic changes in primary somatosensory cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow potentials of the cerebral cortex and behavior.
TL;DR: This review concentrates on scalp-recorded direct current potentials that appear as event-related potentials (ERPs) in humans that have been recorded on the scalp for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reorganization of auditory cortex in tinnitus
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tinnitus is related to plastic alterations in auditory cortex and similarities between these data and the previous demonstrations that phantom limb pain is highly correlated with cortical reorganization suggest that t Finnitus may be an auditory phantom phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive reorganization of primary somatosensory cortex in chronic back pain patients
TL;DR: The data suggest that chronic pain is accompanied by cortical reorganization and may serve an important function in the persistence of the pain experience.
