To control bodily movements the human brain relies on a somatosensory representation referred to as the body schema [1]. The almost century-old hypothesis that tool-use induces plastic changes resulting in the tool being incorporated in the body schema is nowadays widely accepted. Whether this somatosensory representation is truly modified remains unknown, however, as tool-use has never been shown...
The topography of the somatosensory maps of our body [1] can be largely shaped by alterations of peripheral sensory inputs [2, 3]. Following hand amputation, the hand cortical territory becomes responsive to facial cutaneous stimulation [4–7]. Amputation-induced remapping, however, reverses after transplantation, as the grafted hand (re)gains its sensorimotor representation [8]. Here, we investigate...
