The brain holds space for a missing limb, even years after it’s gone. For three women who underwent planned hand amputations, brain scans revealed remarkably durable maps of hand areas, lasting for ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...
