So, we've been temporarily 'amputating' peoples' fingers with anaesthetic to examine brain plasticity...
We now show that while some analyses suggest brain reorganisation after 'amputation', new methods reveal the original representation persists https://t.co/0p2Dciu0wf
Have you grown up with textbook animal work from the 80s, stating an amputated finger's 'cortical territory' gets invaded by its neighbours? Confused by human amputee research mainly showing stability, and want a direct face-off? Our new paper's out: https://t.co/vThtkC0p0O. 1/🧵

Thank you for bearing with me as I moved across the pond. Also, thanks to @plasticity_lab and @OxfordWIN for being such a supportive and fun bunch of scholars. 10/10
After several months of work, happy to share our last #preprint on @biorxiv_neursci entitled "A modality independent proto-organization of human multisensory areas” https://t.co/5RR25ogEwB - a collaboration between @MoMiLab_IMT@ManibusLab@IMTLucca@unito
Very happy to announce our latest paper is out in @CellReports! Bringing a new perspective over the somatosensory Homunculus.
What if we could read information about our hand or face from the leg region?
