“…Penfield's map of the somatosensory system showed the superior parts of the face being located closer to the fingers and hand than the more inferior facial areas. When taken with recent observations by Ramachandran et al (22,23) regarding perceptual correlates of massive cortical reorganization in adult humans, and by Pons et al (24) concerning massive cortical reorganization after sensory deafferentation in adult monkeys, our data support the theory that the lower facial areas are located closer to the fingers as compared to the upper facial regions.…”

“…Following digital nerve block of the middle finger in the left hand, for example, the neurons of the left hemisphere-corresponding to the right middle finger-also showed an expansion of receptive fields. Such effects were observed in flying foxes as well as in pri- (10)(11)(12). In this essay, I will briefly summarize our findings for these two patients and will also describe some preliminary results from a third patient (FA).…”

“…Using this procedure, we found that even stimuli applied to points remote from the amputation line were often systematically mislocalized to the phantom arm. Furthermore, the distribution of these points was not random (10). There appeared to be two clusters of points with one cluster being represented on the lower part of the face ipsilateral to the amputation.…”

“…However, on being touched in the face or on the upper arms, A.Z. has never experienced simultaneous sensations in her phantom upper extremities, and standard methods of stimulation (17,18) did not produce such referred sensations.…”
