Electrophysiological characterization of texture information slip-resistance dependent in the rat vibrissal nerve
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Studies in tactile discrimination agree that rats are able to learn a rough-smooth discrimination task by actively touching (whisking) objects with their vibrissae. In particular, we focus on recent evidence of how neurons at differe...
