...A small expansion of the face inputs into the hand region of the cortex was seen long after hand or arm amputations (Flor et al., 1995; Florence and Kaas, 1995; Grüsser et al., 2004), or immediately after median and radial nerve injury or block (Silva et al....

...Since then, reorganization of the cortical maps has been demonstrated in a variety of mammalian species after different kinds of deprivations including digit or limb amputations (Merzenich et al., 1984; Wall and Cusick, 1984; Calford and Tweedale, 1988; Turnbull and Rasmusson, 1991; Florence et al., 1998), nerve transections (Wall and Kaas, 1985; Garraghty and Kaas, 1991b), dorsal root transections (Pons et al....

...After an extensive recovery period the boundaries of the face representation shift medially into the hand region by as much as 10 –14 mm in macaque monkeys (Pons et al., 1991) and a comparable 5 mm in smaller owl monkeys (Jain et al., 1997)....

...Limits of plasticity in area 3b The maximal extent of shift in representational boundaries reported before this study is in the range of 10 –14 mm for macaque monkeys (Pons et al., 1991) and 5 mm for smaller brained owl monkeys (Jain et al....
