The morphology of the rat vibrissal array: a model for quantifying spatiotemporal patterns of whisker-object contact.
In all sensory modalities, the data acquired by the nervous system is shaped by the biomechanics, material properties, and the morphology of the peripheral sensory organs. The rat vibrissal (whisker) system is one of the premier models in neuroscience to study the relationship between physical embod...
