They can flex their phantom fingers and sometimes even feel the chafe of a watch band or the throb of an ingrown toenail. What causes these phantom limb sensations? Joshua W. Pate explains how the brain reacts to a missing limb. Lesson by Joshua W. Pate, directed by Kozmonot Animation Studio. Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
