"I'm not crying for my parents - I am crying for those who will lose their lives in this war. We must stop the war."

Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

A recent letter we devised to continue the conversation re cortical reorganisation following peripheral nerve injury, and the cognitive mechanisms of hand selection. Could talk about this for days - let alone 500 words!
Thanks @BP_neurosci for looping me in 🤗
