Melzak Argues That Phantom Limb Sensation in an Amputee Occurs

Melzak argues that phantom limb sensation in an amputee occurs because

A) spinal cord axons continue to spontaneously fire after being detached from a limb.
B) sensory neurons in the thalamus show spontaneous firing which is interpreted by the brain as a signal from the missing limb.
C) the parietal cortex is programmed to perceive activity from each of four limbs.
D) the frontal cortex is programmed to perceive activity from each of four limbs.
E) cells in frontal cortex undergo spontaneous firing, which is interpreted as pain.
