You are meeting a new patient who is complaining of phantom pain in his right hand that he had amputated 5 years ago. He reports that “Sometimes when I touch my right arm, it also feels like I am touching my right hand that I no longer have. Why would I experience this sensation?” What best explains what has happened in the area of his brain that processes sensation in the body to lead to his complaint. A) Old memories of sensations related to touching his arm simply reassert themselves even though the hand is no longer present. B) Cortical sensory neurons that originally received input from the right hand now respond to input from cells that receive input from the right arm. C) Neurons from the right side of the cortex serving the right hand have taken over control of the neurons on the right and are activated by the thought of touching his arm. D) Sensory neurons from the scar tissue overlying the stump of the amputated right hand have become hypersensitive to touch sensations.
