What are some mind-blowing facts about biology?

 If you hand is cut or amputated, you will feel a fake/ghost hand there.

This is called “Phantom limb”.

People who have undergone amputation often report that they can still feel the missing part of their hands ( or the body part which is amputated, even penis), as if it were still there. They also experience sensations such as itching or even pain in a the amputated part.

Such experiences show how reality is constructed by the brain and is different from what it actually is.
