Brain Said Nope: Amputee Map Update Cancelled!
For decades, neuroscientists insisted the brain reshuffles itself like a hyperactive librarian after losing a limb. But a fresh study slammed the brakes on that theory, saying no such reorganization happens. Apparently, the brain's nerve map isn’t the ever-changing Pinterest board we thought. The research throws a wrench in long-held beliefs and leaves neuroscientists scratching their heads — proving once again, we're all terrible drivers of our own brains.

So the brain doesn’t reorganize after amputation? Great, just when we thought we were good at adapting, turns out we’re all just stringing together misinformation like a bad group chat.
Turns out the brain’s idea of adjusting to limb loss is about as effective as me changing my diet—lots of plans, zero actual change.
Neuroscience UPDATE: Your brain's map is not a whiteboard, it’s a dusty corkboard with pins nailed in place since birth.
