Injuries to the peripheral nerves result in partial or total loss of motor, sensory and autonomic
functions conveyed by the lesioned nerves to the denervated segments of the body, due to …

Injuries of peripheral inputs from the body cause sensory dysfunctions that are thought to be
attributable to functional changes in cerebral cortical maps of the body. Prevalent theories …

We studied coactivation-based cortical plasticity at a psychophysical level in humans. For
induction of plasticity, we used a protocol of simultaneous pairing of tactile stimulation to …

The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is a second-order auditory structure that also receives
nonauditory information, including somatosensory inputs from the dorsal column and spinal …

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

Adult mammalian brains undergo reorganization following deafferentations due to
peripheral nerve, cortical or spinal cord injuries. The largest extent of cortical reorganization …

Chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are a family of inhibitory extracellular matrix
molecules that are highly expressed during development, where they are involved in …

To test the hypothesis that cortical remapping supports phantom sensations, we examined
referred phantom sensations and cortical activation in humans after spinal-cord injury (SCI) …

Little is known about the substrates for the large-scale shifts in the cortical representation
produced by limb amputation. Subcortical changes likely contribute to the cortical …

Changes in the sensory environment modify our sensory experience and may result in
experience-related or learning-induced reorganization within the central nervous system …
