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...
