Phantom sensations show the brain keeps a map of the body
After limb loss, many people still feel an arm or leg that is no longer there. The brain’s body map can persist and fire as if the part remained.
Cortical reorganization and remembered sensory patterns help explain itching, posture, or pain in a missing limb — experiences that are neurologically real.
You are mapped inside your skull. Changing the body does not instantly erase the atlas the nervous system learned over a lifetime.
