The Neuroscience of Phantom Limbs

About this episode

Some people with missing limbs report sensations of that limb still being there, which we have termed Phantom Limb Syndrome. As it turns out, this is an excellent example of how our brain processes our body image. In today's episode of That Neuroscience Guy, we discuss the neuroscience behind phantom limbs and body image.
