"Phantom limb phenomenon" is best explained by

(A) Golgi tendon organ # Law of projection: No matter where a particular sensory pathway is stimulated along its course to the cortex, the conscious sensation produced is referred to the location of the receptor.> This principle is called the law of projection.> Cortical stimulation experiments during neurosurgical procedures on conscious patients illustrate this phenomenon.> Another dramatic example is seen in amputees. (Some of these patients may complain, often bitterly, of pain and proprioceptive sensations in the absent limb (phantom limb).> Weber Fechner Law: Magnitude of the sensation felt is proportional to the log of the intensity of the stimulus.> Bell Magendie Law: The principle that in the spinal cord the dorsal roots are sensory and the ventral roots are motor is known as the Bell-Magendie Law.
