Brain plasticity after congenital limb loss
Previous studies have demonstrated that following the loss of an upper limb, the deprived hand territory of the somatosensory cortex becomes responsive to afferent input of intact body parts (e.g., the face). It is hypothesised that this remapping of body parts is partially driven by adaptive behaviours, whereby the body part most often used to compensate for the missing limb is remapped into the cortical hand area. We are seeking motivated and independent students to assist with participant recruitment, MRI scanning, behavioural testing and fMRI data analysis.
