N2 - The human brain represents the body in a homuncular fashion. Although these cortical representations are to some degree plastic, it is unclear how extensive this plasticity can be. Examinations of amputated or amelic subjects can contribute to answering this question. We examined a man who lacked both arms since birth and was free of phantom pain.
