Addendum: Kremer et al., Late emergence of the vibrissa direction selectivity map in the rat barrel cortex.
In the neocortex, neuronal selectivities for multiple sensorimotor modalities are often distributed in topographical maps thought to emerge during a restricted period in early postnatal development. Rodent barrel cortex contains a somatotopic map for vibrissa identity, but the existence of maps representing other tactile features has not been clearly demonstrated. We addressed the issue of the ...
متن کاملModeling the Emergence of Whisker Direction Maps in Rat Barrel Cortex
Based on measuring responses to rat whiskers as they are mechanically stimulated, one recent study suggests that barrel-related areas in layer 2/3 rat primary somatosensory cortex (S1) contain a pinwheel map of whisker motion directions. Because this map is reminiscent of topographic organization for visual direction in primary visual cortex (V1) of higher mammals, we asked whether the S1 pinwh...
متن کاملA radial map of multi-whisker correlation selectivity in the rat barrel cortex
In the barrel cortex, several features of single-whisker stimuli are organized in functional maps. The barrel cortex also encodes spatio-temporal correlation patterns of multi-whisker inputs, but so far the cortical mapping of neurons tuned to such input statistics is unknown. Here we report that layer 2/3 of the rat barrel cortex contains an additional functional map based on neuronal tuning t...
متن کاملImprecise Whisker Map in the Neonatal Rat Barrel Cortex.
The somatosensory barrel cortex in rodents contains a topographic map of the facial whiskers where each cortical barrel is tuned to a corresponding whisker. However, exactly when this correspondence is established during development and how precise the functional topography of the whisker protomap is at birth, before the anatomical formation of barrels, are questions that remain unresolved. Her...
متن کاملThalamocortical response transformation in the rat vibrissa/barrel system.
1. Extracellular single-unit recordings and controlled whisker stimuli were used to compare response properties between cells in the "barreloids" of the thalamic ventrobasal complex and those in the cytochrome oxidase-rich centers of the "barrels" in the first somatic sensory cortex. Individual vibrissae were deflected alone or in paired combination involving the neuron's maximally excitatory w...
