The neuromatrix theory suggests that the brain generates a neural network that integrates sensory inputs with the brain's inherent neural network. When a limb is amputated, the sensory inputs from the missing limb conflict with this network, leading to the experience of a phantom limb, often accompanied by pain. This is because the brain continues to process sensory information as if the limb were still there, resulting in the sensation of a phantom limb.
