Advanced Artificial Limbs Mapped in the Brain

Neuroscience NewsOctober 27, 2017

Following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a procedure that reroutes residual limb nerves to intact muscles and skin in amputees, the brain remaps both motor and sensory pathways. Additionally, researchers note, TMSR may help counteract poorly adapted cortical plasticity following amputation.... Read More...
