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.

New preprint! Work since I was with @jaredmedina.bsky.social and in collaboration with @jeffmyau.bsky.social, @cogsimon.bsky.social, and H. Branch Coslett. We studied motor and somatosensory reorganization in two cases in which left S1 was severely damaged but M1 was intact. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

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/...
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.
