This study examines how altered functionality of a virtual arm affects embodiment in adults and children, finding that extreme enhancements reduce limb ownership in adults but do not improve motor control in children.

This study investigates neuroplasticity in children and adults with congenital limb differences, showing early global remapping in the somatosensory cortex driven by deprivation and compensatory behavior.

The paper compares cognitive strategies in individuals with and without congenital limb differences in a virtual problem-solving task, finding differences in thinking time and persistence despite equal motor capabilities.
