• Redirection of cutaneous sensation from the hand to the chest skin of human amputees with targeted reinnervation ? PNAS: Amputees cannot feel what they touch with their artificial hands. We have developed a technique that transfers remaining arm nerves to residual chest muscles after an amputation. This technique allows some sensory nerves from the amputated limb to reinnervate overlying chest skin. When this reinnervated skin is touched, the amputees perceive that they are being touched on their missing limb. We found that touch thresholds of the reinnervated chest skin fall within near-normal ranges, indicating the regeneration of large-fiber afferents. The perceptual identity of the limb and chest was maintained separately even though they shared a common skin surface. A cutaneous expression of proprioception also occurred in one reinnervated individual. The perception of an amputated limb arising from stimulation of reinnervated chest skin may allow useful sensory feedback from prosthetic devices and provides insight into the mechanisms of neural plasticity and peripheral regeneration in humans.

• Canadian Psychology: The once and future Hebb synapse - T. Sejnowski: "The beauty of the Hebb synapse is that it only depends on information that is available locally at the synapse, and does not require global information from other neurons in the network such as the error signals required in the error-- backpropagatio n algorithm" ; - LTP and LTD, sequences and patterns over time (all without resort to information processing metaphors)
