The human brain adapts to changing demands by altering its functional and structural
properties (“neuroplasticity”) which results in learning and acquiring skills. Convergent …

Textbooks teach us that the removal of sensory input to sensory cortex, for example,
following arm amputation, results in massive reorganisation in the adult brain. In this opinion …

Metacognition constitutes the dominant competence of the 21st century. De-spite the
indisputable scientific interest, there are various unanswered questions concerning the …

Phantom pain after arm amputation is widely believed to arise from maladaptive cortical
reorganization, triggered by loss of sensory input. We instead propose that chronic phantom …

The role of cortical activity in generating and abolishing chronic pain is increasingly
emphasized in the clinical community. Perhaps the most striking example of this is the …

Purpose There is growing evidence that vertebral column function and dysfunction play a
vital role in neuromuscular control. This invited review summarises the evidence about how …

It has been widely accepted that the younger the age and/or immaturity of the organism, the
greater the brain plasticity, the young age plasticity privilege. This paper examines the …

Resilience is an innate human capacity that holds the key to uncovering why some people
rebound after trauma and others never recover. Various theories have debated the …

Arm-amputation involves two powerful drivers for brain plasticity—sensory deprivation and
altered use. However, research has largely focused on sensory deprivation and maladaptive …
