Tir Att: 42 In an accident, you completely severed your left middle finger and it cannot be reattached. Fortunately, your other fingers are fine. What is likely to happen to your cortical representations in the somatosensory cortex after a few months? The cortical representation of your severed finger will expand, as it is now looking for a missing input" Nothing. Your cortical representations are well established by now. None of these are correct. The representation of the adjacent fingers (left index and ring finger) will take over the representation of your missing finger The cortical representation of your severed finger will now respond to the corresponding finger on the other hand (right middle finger).
