Texture Coding in the Rat Whisker System: Slip-Stick Versus Differential Resonance

Rats discriminate surface textures using their whiskers (vibrissae), but how whiskers extract texture information, and how this information is encoded by the brain, are not known. In the resonance model, whisker motion across different textures excites mechanical resonance in distinct subsets of whi...
