Six fingers per hand: Polydactyly equals extra motor ability

Neuroscience NewsJune 3, 2019

Polydactyly, a condition where one is born with an extra finger, has significant benefits when it comes to motor skill and control. fMRI neuroimaging reveals those with extra fingers are able to move the digits independently of other fingers. The findings could help with the development of new prosthetics that extend motor abilities.... Read More...
