A fundamental question in the investigation of any sensory system is what physical signals drive its sensory neurons during natural behavior. Surprisingly, in the whisker system, it is only recently that answers to this question have emerged. Here, we review the key developments, focussing mainly on the first stage of the ascending pathway – the primary whisker afferents (PWAs). We first consider...
Recordings of whole-cell synaptic current responses elicited by electrical stimulation of dorsal roots were made from motoneurons, identified by antidromic invasion, in isolated spinal cord preparations from five- to eigth-day-old Wistar rats. Supramaximal electrical stimulation of the dorsal root evoked complex excitatory postsynaptic currents with mean latencies (± S.E.M.) of 6.1 ± 0.26 ms, peak...
