Experiments have shown that after amputation of a digit in an adult monkey there is invasion of neuronal areas adjacent to the cortical area where the amputated digit was represented, consistent with neuroplasticity changes in the primary motor cortex M1 and the primary somatosensory cortex S1.
Evidencias experimentales han mostrado que posterior a la amputación de un dedo en un mono adulto ocurre invasión de áreas neuronales adyacentes de la zona cortical que representaba el dedo amputado, correspondiendo a cambios de neuroplasticidad sobre la corteza motora primaria M1 y somatosensorial primaria S1.
