Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability. Some degree of spontaneous behavioral
recovery is usually seen in the weeks after stroke onset. Variability in recovery is substantial …

After manipulations of the periphery that reduce or enhance input to the somatosensory
cortex, affected parts of the body representation will contract or expand, often over many …

Distributions of thalamic and cortical connections were investigated in four macaque
monkeys with long-standing, accidental trauma to a forelimb, to determine whether the …

In this study we describe the localization of the cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the human
parietal operculum in stereotaxic space and relate these anatomically defined cortical areas …

Studies of resting-state activity in the brain have provoked critical questions about the brain's
functional organization, but the biological basis of this activity is not clear. Specifically, the …

Using microstimulation to imprint meaningful activity patterns into intrinsically highly
interconnected neuronal substrates is hampered by activation of fibers of passage leading to …

Loss of somatosensory drive results in functional reorganization of the primary
somatosensory cortex (SI). While the phenomenon of functional cortical reorganization is …

After long-term denervation of an upper limb in macaque monkeys, the representation of the
face in somatosensory cortex expands over many millimeters into the silenced …

Somatotopic maps in the cortex and the thalamus of adult monkeys and humans reorganize
in response to altered inputs. After loss of the sensory afferents from the forelimb in monkeys …

Studies of the effects of peripheral and central lesions, perceptual learning and
neurochemical modification on the sensory representations in cortex have had a dramatic …
