A rare circulatory problem required Emily Wheldon to have her left arm amputated three years ago. Her brain still thinks it's there. "Most days, it just feels like I've got my arm next to me," she ...
A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief: that the brain’s map of the body reorganizes itself to compensate for missing body parts. Previous research 1 ...
People with spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the damage ...

Functional neuroimaging of individuals before and after they underwent an arm amputation shows that the map of the missing limb in somatosensory cortex remains stable after amputation, with no ...
People with from spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the ...
New research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Cambridge University upends a long-standing belief about brain plasticity. A study published today in Nature Neuroscience shows ...
People with spinal cord injuries often lose movement even though their brains still send the right signals. Researchers tested whether EEG brain scans could capture those signals and reroute them to ...
Signals from an EEG monitoring device could be used to send brain signals to a spinal cord stimulator, helping paralyzed patients control their limbs more effectively. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2026 — ...
