Abnormal access of axial vibrotactile input to deafferented somatosensory cortex in human upper limb amputees.
We studied two human subjects with total deafferentation of one upper limb secondary to traumatic multiple cervical root avulsions. Both subjects developed a phantom limb and underwent elective amputation of the paralyzed, deafferentated limb. Psychophysical study revealed in each subject an area of...
