Rats sweep their vibrissae through space to locate objects in their immediate environment.
In essence, their view of the proximal world is generated through pliable hairs that tap and …

The rodent whisker system is widely used as a model system for investigating sensorimotor
integration, neural mechanisms of complex cognitive tasks, neural development, and …

Linking activity in specific cell types with perception, cognition, and action, requires
quantitative behavioral experiments in genetic model systems such as the mouse. In head …

Nearby neurons in mammalian neocortex demonstrate a great diversity of cell types and
connectivity patterns. The importance of this diversity for computation is not understood …

Neuroscientists have long recognized the importance of understanding the underlying
principles of information processing by large populations of neurons. Methods for Neural …

Results obtained using continuous and discrete wavelet transforms as applied to problems
in neurodynamics are reviewed, with the emphasis on the potential of wavelet analysis for …

A key question in systems neuroscience is to identify how sensory stimuli are represented in
neuronal activity, and how the activity of sensory neurons in turn is “read out” by downstream …

Using their large mystacial vibrissas, rats perform a variety of tasks, including localization
and identification of objects. We report on the discriminatory thresholds and behavior of rats …

Exploratory whisking in rat is an example of self-generated movement on multiple
timescales, from slow variations in the envelope of whisking to the rapid sequence of muscle …

One of the great challenges of systems neuroscience is to understand how the neocortex
transforms neuronal representations of the physical characteristics of sensory stimuli into the …
