Restoration of contralateral representation in the mouse somatosensory cortex after crossing nerve transfer.

Restoration of contralateral representation in the mouse somatosensory cortex after crossing nerve transfer.

Avulsion of spinal nerve roots in the brachial plexus (BP) can be repaired by crossing nerve transfer via a nerve graft to connect injured nerve ends to the BP contralateral to the lesioned side. Sensory recovery in these patients suggests that the contralateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is...
