New research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Cambridge University upends a long-standing belief about brain plasticity. A study published today in Nature Neuroscience shows ...
Even years after an arm is amputated, the brain maintains a detailed map of the limb and tries to interact with this phantom appendage. In the brain, a lost limb is never really gone A rare ...
