Cortical post-movement and sensory processing disentangled by temporary deafferentation

► We examine movement-related potentials under temporary deafferentation. ► A somatosensory reafferent feedback component is abolished under deafferentation. ► Motor system activation continues after movement execution despite deafferentation. ► The motor memory trace of a movement does not depend on reafferent feedback. ► A motor memory trace could serve to compare planned and executed movement course.
