    Brain hand ‘map’ is maintained in amputees with and without phantom limb sensations

    Scientists have been able to detect the neural ‘fingerprints’ of a missing hand decades after amputation, regardless of the presence of phantom limb movements, but could not find similar fingerprints in those born with a missing hand.
