A New Rehabilitative Mechanism in Primary Motor Cortex After Peripheral Trauma

A New Rehabilitative Mechanism in Primary Motor Cortex After Peripheral Trauma

Homuncular organization, i.e., the neuronal representation of the human body within the primary motor cortex, is one of the most fundamental principles of the human brain. Despite this, in rare peripheral nerve surgery patients, the transformation of a monofunctional (diaphragm activation) into a bi...
