Convergent models of handedness and brain lateralization
RL Sainburg - Frontiers in psychology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
The pervasive nature of handedness across human history and cultures is a salient
consequence of brain lateralization. This paper presents evidence that provides a structure …

Stability of sensory topographies in adult cortex
TR Makin, SJ Bensmaia - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2017 - cell.com
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 …

Revealing the neural fingerprints of a missing hand
The hand area of the primary somatosensory cortex contains detailed finger topography,
thought to be shaped and maintained by daily life experience. Here we utilise phantom …

Obtaining and maintaining cortical hand representation as evidenced from acquired and congenital handlessness
A key question in neuroscience is how cortical organisation relates to experience.
Previously we showed that amputees experiencing highly vivid phantom sensations …

Upper limb activity in myoelectric prosthesis users is biased towards the intact limb and appears unrelated to goal-directed task performance
Studies of the effectiveness of prosthetic hands involve assessing user performance on
functional tasks, typically collected in the lab, sometimes combined with self-report of real …

Complex pattern of facial remapping in somatosensory cortex following congenital but not acquired hand loss
Cortical remapping after hand loss in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is thought to be
predominantly dictated by cortical proximity, with adjacent body parts remapping into the …
