This study investigates facial somatotopy in S1 and remapping after hand loss, finding an upright facial organization and restricted remapping in congenital one-handers.

The paper shows that motor representations remain stable after paralysis, enabling brain-computer interfaces to restore motor functions using preserved neural patterns.

This study shows that intrinsic somatosensory signals from body parts controlling a robotic device support motor learning and performance, even when artificial feedback is absent.
