Finally, both LS and RF showed greater activity in middle occipital gyrus relative to controls, suggesting a potential reliance on visual imagery in the face of degraded sensory feedback.

In contrast, RF, who had a small island of spared ipsilesional (left) S1 that was active during stimulation of the hand, showed greater activation in contralesional (right) S1 for movement versus rest, demonstrating cross-hemispheric reorganization.

In one individual (LS) with near complete damage to the S1 hand area, moving the contralesional right hand elicited stronger activation in right putamen relative to age-matched controls, and surprisingly, *deactivation* in right cerebellum (Lobule VI).

As expected, both individuals showed elevated tactile detection thresholds and distorted tactile localization on the contralesional right hand, and accordingly relied heavily on vision when moving the hand. Otherwise they had preserved motor abilities.
