Once the organization of the somatosensory cortex is fully developed, it does not undergo any changes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The organization of somatosensory cortex can undergo changes in response to different experiences or injuries. For example, if a person loses a finger, the area of somatosensory cortex devoted to that finger may be eventually taken over by adjacent areas representing neighboring fingers. This is known as cortical reorganization or plasticity.
