Summary
This study used brain scans (fMRI) to understand how people with severe facial disfigurement come to recognize their new face as their own after a face transplant. Four participants were scanned before injury, after injury but before transplant, and after transplant. The goal was to identify brain areas involved in self-recognition and how they change over time.
