Assessment of auditory temporal-order thresholds - a comparison of different measurement procedures and the influences of age and gender.

abstract：PURPOSE:The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is somatotopically reorganized after limb amputation. The duration of the amputation, the intensity of phantom limb pain but also a multifactoral model of altered cerebral input have been discussed to be associated with cortical changes. Patients with finger amputation rare...
