, a neuroprosthetic approach where residual limb nerves are rerouted towards intact muscles and skin regions to control a robotic limb.”

How sights, sounds, and touch are mapped onto the brain
https://www.theguardian.com/science/neurophilosophy/2013/sep/03/topographic-mapping
“The body’s surface and certain features of the external world are mapped onto the brain in a highly ordered fashion. These so-called ‘topographic maps’ exist in all of the brain’s sensory systems, as well as in its motor system. They arise during brain development, and are vital for information processing.”
Brain Remaps Itself in Child with Double Hand Transplant
https://neurosciencenews.com/remapped-brain-hand-transplant-8117/
“The brain reorganization is thought to have begun six years before the transplant, when the child had both hands amputated because of a severe infection during infancy. Notably, after he received transplanted hands, the patient’s brain reverted toward a more typical pattern.”
Advanced artificial limbs mapped in the brain
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171027094417.htm
“Scientists have used functional MRI to show how the brain re-maps motor and sensory pathways following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation (TMSR), a neuroprosthetic approach where residual limb nerves are rerouted towards intact muscles and skin regions to control a robotic limb.”
