Somatotopic Organization of the Ventroposterior Nucleus of the Thalamus in Macaque Monkeys with Dorsal Spinal Cord Injuries Sustained During Early Postnatal Development
Injuries to peripheral nerves or the spinal cord lead to changes in the topographic organization in the brain at multiple levels along the sensory pathways. In adult monkeys large-scale deafferentations due to transection of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord at cervical levels result in large-scale reorganizations such that the deafferented neurons in the hand representation of somatosensory…
