This study examines cortical hand map changes after finger nerve block, finding persistent representation despite input loss, suggesting distributed processing and homeostatic mechanisms.

The paper shows that body part and action information is distributed across the somatosensory homunculus beyond primary areas, revealing new organizational principles in S1.

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.

This study examines how motor augmentation with a robotic thumb affects brain representation of the biological hand, finding that training leads to changes in motor control, embodiment, and neural decoding of the augmented hand.

The paper shows that whole-brain functional connectivity patterns remain consistent across different task states, despite changes in brain activation.
