Motor cortex does not contain articulatory representations of perceived actions in speech, but rather, represents auditory vocal information.
This means that the motor cortex does not control the details of limb movement directly but instead controls the abstract parameters of movement, regardless of the connected apparatus that is actually moving.
Thus, the absence of a representation of the missing limb in the motor cortex does not exclude the possibility that amelics possess a body schema that includes some form of sensorimotor representation of all four limbs.
Given this, we asked whether the absence of a phantom limb in the majority of amelics means that the motor cortex does not contain a cortical representation of the missing limb, or whether it is present but has been deactivated by the lack of sensorimotor experience.
We interpret this as evidence that their motor cortex does not contain a representation of the missing limb, or that if such a representation exists it receives extremely strong inhibitory inputs and cannot be accessed either voluntarily or following intense external stimulation.
It is thought, for example, that the motor cortex does not have a layer 4, which suggests that the neural circuitry that controls movement differs from that in charge of vision, hearing, and other functions.

Sham stimuli to motor cortex did not evoke MEPs even at 100% stimulator output.
Strong direct connections between primary auditory and motor cortex do not seem to exist.
Likewise, poly(GP) levels in the motor cortex did not associate with frontal cortical or hippocampal pTDP-43 pathology.
Moreover, the extent of DPR pathology in frontal cortex and motor cortex did not correlate with neurodegeneration in FTLD or MND cases.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
