Tactile sensory information from facial whiskers provides nocturnal tunnel-dwelling rodents,
including mice and rats, with important spatial and textural information about their immediate …

In the visual system of primates, different neuronal pathways are specialized for processing
information about the spatial coordinates of objects and their identity—that …

Rats sweep their vibrissae through space to locate objects in their immediate environment.
In essence, their view of the proximal world is generated through pliable hairs that tap and …

The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

Neuroscientists have long recognized the importance of understanding the underlying
principles of information processing by large populations of neurons. Methods for Neural …

Using their large mystacial vibrissas, rats perform a variety of tasks, including localization
and identification of objects. We report on the discriminatory thresholds and behavior of rats …

Ensemble neuronal activity was recorded in each layer of the whisker area of the primary
somatosensory cortex (SI) while rats performed a whisker-dependent tactile discrimination …

Substantial advancement in the understanding of the neuronal basis of behavior and the
treatment of neurological disorders has been achieved via the implantation of various …

The default mode network (DMN) has been defined in functional brain imaging studies as a
set of highly connected brain areas, which are active during wakeful rest and inactivated …

Layer 5 (L5) pyramidal neurones constitute a major sub‐and intracortical output of the
somatosensory cortex. This layer 5 is segregated into layers 5A and 5B which receive and …
