P307 TMS-based cortical mapping in double-arm transplantation

The re-adaptation process that the brain exhibits as a response to the environmental modifications resulting from prolonged or sudden limb loss can be described as a part of brain plasticity. In some cases, due to neurons synaptic interaction with neighboring neurons, motor-sensory representation of a hand can be replaced. In this study, it is aimed to develop neurophysiologic approaches for identification and discovery of structural and functional, transient and permanent plastic changes in arm-transplant cases.
