Texture discrimination and multi-unit recording in the rat vibrissal nerve
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rats distinguish objects differing in surface texture by actively moving their vibrissae. In this paper we characterized some aspects of texture sensing in anesthetized rats during active touch. We analyzed the multifiber discharge f...
