If your index finger had to be amputated as a result of a freak what would happen to your S1 somatotopic map of your fingers? A) The neurons in S1 that had previously responded to stimulation on the index finger would begin to respond to stimulation of the thumb and middle finger B) The neurons in S1 that had previously responded to stimulation on the index finger would begin to respond to stimulation of the foot and toes C) The neurons in S1 that had previously responded to stimulation on the index finger would die and the neurons from the thumb and middle finger would reproduce and expand their respective maps
