  Dear Gustaf,

  As Oyvind suggests, Lee Sannella wrote extensively on the left foot phenomena.

  Two or three years ago I saw a program on PBS about phantom pain with V.S.
  Ramachandran.

  What fascinated me was the fact that the brain is organized in a non
  intuitive way. When various parts of the brain were activated, it was found that the
  leg and foot are located next to the genitalia. So when the energy presses on
  various places in the brain, the leg and foot may be first in the list when
  sexual energy is produced.

  "Other remapping occurs. For example, the genitals and feet are next to each
  other on the sensory cortex of the brain. Thus it is sometimes reported that
  lower leg amputees experience orgasmic sensations in their phantom foot. In
  these instances, orgasm can be felt as being more intense since it is mapped
  over a larger area of the brain."

  Love, Hillary

  In his ground breaking book, "Phantoms In The Brain" V. S. Ramachandran
  demonstrates how the brain "remaps" the missing limb to sensory areas adjacent on
  the sensory cortex in the parietal lobe. For example, with one patient he
  describes how the phantom hand is remapped onto the corresponding cheek.
  Curiously, sensations felt in the cheek are also felt in the phantom hand....
