Brain (re)organisation following amputation: Implications for phantom limb pain

TLDR
The need to consider potential contributions of additional brain mechanisms, beyond S1 remapping, and the dynamic interplay of contextual factors with brain changes for understanding and alleviating PLP is highlighted.

Extensive reorganization of the somatosensory cortex in adult humans after nervous system injury

TL;DR: In this article, magnetic source imaging revealed that the topographic representation in the somatosensory cortex of upper extremity amputees was shifted an average of 1.5 cm toward the area that would normally receive input from the now absent nerves supplying the hand and fingers.

Neural encoding of actual and imagined touch within human posterior parietal cortex

TL;DR: These results are the first neuron level evidence of touch encoding in human PPC and its cognitive engagement during tactile imagery which may reflect semantic processing, sensory anticipation, and imagined touch.

Review of the Role of the Brain in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the brain in CIPN was investigated, and the authors discussed how to leverage this knowledge for future preclinical research, clinical research, and brain-based treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous control of natural and extra degrees of freedom by isometric force and electromyographic activity in the muscle-to-force null space

TL;DR: An information-theoretic metric, an index of difficulty defined as the sum of a spatial and a temporal term, is developed to assess individual null space control ability for both reaching and holding.

The organization of the human cerebral cortex estimated by intrinsic functional connectivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the organization of networks in the human cerebrum was explored using resting-state functional connectivity MRI data from 1,000 subjects and a clustering approach was employed to identify and replicate networks of functionally coupled regions across the cerebral cortex.

A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral cortex

TL;DR: Using multi-modal magnetic resonance images from the Human Connectome Project and an objective semi-automated neuroanatomical approach, 180 areas per hemisphere are delineated bounded by sharp changes in cortical architecture, function, connectivity, and/or topography in a precisely aligned group average of 210 healthy young adults.

Non-invasive mapping of connections between human thalamus and cortex using diffusion imaging

TL;DR: The results provide the first quantitative demonstration of reliable inference of anatomical connectivity between human gray matter structures using diffusion data and the first connectivity-based segmentation of gray matter.

Phantom-limb pain as a perceptual correlate of cortical reorganization following arm amputation

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.

How do phantom limbs affect the brain?

Phantom limbs can lead to reorganization of the brain, including changes in the primary somatosensory cortex and altered sensory representations.
