First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the brain changes in people born without a hand or upper limb. Researchers will use brain scans and simple tasks to compare their brain activity and structure to those with both arms. The goal is to understand how early life shapes the brain's ability to adapt, which may help improve care for people with limb differences.
