- Reposted by Jared MedinaNow out in @natneuro.nature.com What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed? Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02037-7 🧵1/18
- Reposted by Jared MedinaUnfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.
- A new preprint from our lab by @yuqiliu1179.bsky.social using "single case cognitive neuroscience". We used fMRI To examine reorganization for touch and movement in two individuals with intact M1 but severely damaged S1. Read the thread below for the full story.
- New preprint! Work since I was with @jaredmedina.bsky.social and in collaboration with @jeffmyau.bsky.social, @cogsimon.bsky.social, and H. Branch Coslett. We studied motor and somatosensory reorganization in two cases in which left S1 was severely damaged but M1 was intact. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
