Rodent Whisker Barrerls: Windows Into Cerebral Cortical Function

DJ Simons

The rodent somatosensory cortex contains readily identifiable neuronal networks related to individual facial whiskers. Knowledge of how these circuits "work" can provide a bridge between understanding the biophysical properties of individual neurons and the large-scale framework of linked cortical columns that comprises the cortical representation of the tactile environment.
