Developmental enrichment enhances a topographically structured proprioceptive cortical code

The organization of proprioceptive cortex emerges from experience-dependent patterns of limb use during development, rather than merely reflecting peripheral innervation.

The organization of proprioceptive cortex emerges from experience-dependent patterns of limb use during development, rather than merely reflecting peripheral innervation. However, the degree and specifics of these developmental changes remain poorly understood. To address this…
