...…in the primary somatosensory cortex (SI), where the lower face representation takes over the cortical territory of the missing hand (Pons et al., 1991; Jain et al., 2008) (see Devor and Wall, 1978; Florence and Kaas, 1995; Kambi et al., 2014 for reorganization in subcortical structures)....

...…can lead to major long-term reorganization of cortical topographic maps, reflecting remarkable plasticity in the adult brain (Wall and Egger, 1971; Jain et al., 1997, 2008; Bruehlmeier et al., 1998; Green et al., 1998; Curt et al., 2002; Endo et al., 2007; Ghosh et al., 2009, 2010; Tandon et al.,…...

...However, in this case the lesion extended to the ipsilateral ventral horn and part of the white matter at the junction of the ventral and lateral funiculi as evidenced by the presence of translucent scar tissue, which is likely because of secondary damage after the lesion (Fleming et al., 2006)....

...…of restricted expansions, after median nerve cut only radial nerve inputs expand into the deprived region of area 3b although the deprived median nerve region lies immediately adjacent to the normally innervated face region (Merzenich et al., 1983a; Wall et al., 1983; Garraghty and Kaas, 1991b)....

...One of the earliest definitive studies on adult brain plasticity in primates showed that after transection of the median nerve to the hand in monkeys, remaining inputs to the hand expand into the deprived hand region of somatosensory area 3b of cortex (Merzenich et al., 1983a,b)....

...The organization of the cortex after median nerve or median and ulnar nerve cuts has been explored after as much as five (Merzenich et al., 1983b; Garraghty and Kaas, 1991b) or 11 months (Garraghty et al., 1994)....

...Adult brains retain a remarkable ability to change in response to injuries that interrupt transmission of peripheral inputs resulting from damage to the peripheral or central pathways (Jones, 2000; Chen et al., 2002; Jain, 2002; Kaas et al., 2008)....

...A lesion at this level is expected to remove most of the inputs from digits 3, 4, and 5, while preserving those from most of the palm, digits 1 and 2 and the anterior arm (Sherrington, 1939; Florence et al., 1988; Flor et al., 1997; Darian-Smith and Ciferri, 2005)....

...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....
