Clarence has been playing the guitar for 15 years. After he fractured his left wrist, he found that he could no longer perform the fine finger movements required of his left hand. As a result, he decided to switch to using his right hand for fine finger movements (strumming with his left hand while doing intricate fingering with his right). Describe (1) the current state of Clarence's somatosensory cortex, and (2) the changes you might expect Clarence to experience in his somatosensory cortex over the next few years. (Assume Clarence is ambidextrous.)
