Plasticity in adult cortical finger representations in the monkey. At top, a monkey brain is shown where the strip indicates the primary somatosensory area. This area has a map of the body, part of which is a map of the hand. The representation of the tips of the second digit before and after intense and prolonged stimulation is shown in gray shading. Stimulation selectively enlarges the representation of the manipulated skin. Modified from Jenkins et al6.
