<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The brain contains multiple representations of the body. First, afferent inputs from the skin and proprioceptive receptors project to maps of the body surface and body segments, respectively, in the primary somatosensory cortex (Penfield and Rasmussen 1950). These somatotopic maps reflect the distribution of sensory receptors within the body and underpin somatic sensation (Romo et al. 1998). For example, area 3b contains a distorted ‘homunculus’, with enlarged lips and hands.</jats:p>
