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

Summary

This study looked at how the brain adapts when people have a nerve injury in their dominant arm. Researchers used brain scans to see which parts of the brain help people move skillfully with their left, non-dominant hand. The study included 120 adults, some with a chronic nerve injury and some healthy, all right-handed. The goal was to understand brain compensation, not to test a treatment.
