Other patients have pain associated with small fiber

At the spinal level, amputation induces a state of
deafferentation silence, or at the very least disorganization, with abnormal discharges from neuromas and the dorsal root ganglia that have been disrupted [14].
On the relation between sensory

1991) found that the somatosensory cortex not only undergoes remarkable reorganization after long-term
deafferentation, but that the cortical area originally corresponding to the hand is taken over by sensory input to the lower facial region, which is topographically just below the hand on the homunculus.
Sur and others showed that
deafferentation of the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) in newborn ferrets leads to ingrowth of retinal fibers to form novel retino-MGN projections and subsequently leading to induction of visual orientation in the auditory cortex.
