  "summary": "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…",
