TLDR
The results suggest that reorganization mechanisms at central terminals of peripheral nerves are very different following prenatal than postnatal nerve damage.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The cortical somatotopic map and phantom phenomena in subjects with congenital limb atrophy and traumatic amputees with phantom limb pain
Pedro Montoya,Karin Ritter,Ellena Huse,Wolfgang Larbig,Christoph Braun,Stephanie Töpfner,Werner Lutzenberger,Wolfgang Grodd,Herta Flor,Niels Birbaumer,Niels Birbaumer +10 more
TL;DR: The assumption that congenital absence of a limb does not lead to cortical reorganization or phantom limbs is confirmed whereas traumatic amputations that are accompanied by phantom limb pain show shifts of the cortical areas adjacent to the amputation zone towards the representation of the deafferented body part.

Central reorganization of sensory pathways following peripheral nerve regeneration in fetal monkeys.
TL;DR: It is shown that there is little or no topographic order in the median nerve to the hand after median nerve section and surgical repair in immature macaque monkeys, and in the same animals the representation of the reinnervated hand in primary somato-sensory cortēx is quite orderly.

Initial upregulation of growth factors and inflammatory mediators during nerve regeneration in the presence of cell adhesive peptide‐incorporated collagen tubes
TL;DR: The combined results suggest that the early phase of regeneration of peripheral nerves in the presence of peptide‐incorporated collagen tubes results in the enhanced production of trophic factors by the recruited hematogenous cells and Schwann cells, which in turn help in the secretion of certain vital Trophic and tropic factors essential for early regeneration.

Evidence for Altered Ca2+ Handling in Growth Associated Protein 43-Knockout Skeletal Muscle
Giusy A. Caprara,Caterina Morabito,Stefano Perni,Riccardo Navarra,Simone Guarnieri,Maria A. Mariggiò +5 more
TL;DR: GAP43 expression is involved in timing of muscle maturation in-vivo, and the emerging hypothesis indicates that GAP43 interacts with calmodulin to indirectly modulate the activities of dihydropyridine and ryanodine Ca2+ channels, from functional excitation-contraction coupling, to cell metabolism, and gene expression.

Brain Reorganization and Experience
Jon H. Kaas,S. L. Florence +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to adjust to changes in the external environment is critical for learning and for recovery from brain injury as discussed by the authors, and the ability to respond in a reliable way is crucial for learning.

GAP-43 in the cat visual cortex during postnatal development
TL;DR: The slow decline in membrane-associated GAP-43 levels after 40 d of age may be an index of relative plasticity remaining after the peak of the critical period.

Responsiveness and Somatotopic Organization of Anterior Parietal Field 3b and Adjoining Cortex in Newborn and Infant Monkeys
Leah Krubitzer,Jon H. Kaas +1 more
TL;DR: In newborn macaque monkeys, cortex was unresponsive to cutaneous stimuli; however, by 1 month, areas 3b and 1 appeared to be adult-like in responsiveness and somatotopic organization.

The development of the gracile nucleus in the rat: the time of ingrowth of ascending primary sensory fibres and effect of early deafferentation.
L. Chimelli,F. Scaravilli +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the present investigation show that penetration of primary sensory fibres into the gracile nucleus takes place approximately 2 days after they have been seen in the medulla and are in keeping with observations made in other pathways of the nervous system of the rat as well as in other animals.

Plasticity in the Peripheral Somatosensory Nervous System
Peter J. Snow,Peter Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: This review concludes that lesions of primary afferent fibres brought about by crush or transection of peripheral nerves or dorsal roots or by application of neurotoxins have been used extensively to investigate the influence of changes of input on connectivity in somatosensory pathways.
