What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?

Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

A new preprint from our lab by @yuqiliu1179.bsky.social using "single case cognitive neuroscience". We used fMRI To examine reorganization for touch and movement in two individuals with intact M1 but severely damaged S1. Read the thread below for the full story.

Could I be added? Thank you!

We’re thrilled to share our new research article, "Shaping the developing homunculus: the roles of deprivation and compensatory behaviour in sensory remapping on bioRxiv: rebrand.ly/qbz6nal with @dorothycowie.bsky.social

Could I be added? Thank you!

Feel free to add me - thanks for organizing these lists.

Our lab at Emory is hiring a full-time research assistant. Anyone with an interest in neuropsychology, plasticity, body representations and/or perceptual illusions should apply. Review will start on 3/4 and continue until filled. DM or email me w/any questions. www.jaredmedina.com/our-lab-is-h...

The Learning, Understanding, Memory, & Neurodevelopment Lab (LUMeN Lab, PI: Dr. Alexandra Cohen) in the Department of Psychology at Emory University (Atlanta, GA) is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow to work on studies examining how motivation and emotion influence learning, memory, and brain function across development. Projects will include analysis of fMRI and ecological momentary assessment data from an NIH-funded study examining neurocognitive mechanisms of reward-motivated memory and behaviors across development. Candidates must have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field by the position start date. The start date is flexible. Fluency with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, R, Matlab) and experience with fMRI are required. Developmental cognitive neuroscience research experience is preferred, but not required. Application review will take place on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

The Learning, Understanding, Memory, & Neurodevelopment (LUMeN) Lab at Emory is seeking our first postdoc! ✨ Learn more about the position and apply here: faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/123119/...
