    Summary
    ‘Targeted motor and sensory reinnervation' (TMSR) entails rerouting residual limb nerves towards intact muscles and skin to try to achieve prostheses that move and feel like real limbs. Using ultra-high field 7T fMRI, Serino et al. examine upper limb representations in M1 and S1 of amputees who have undergone TMSR.
