Sensorimotor integration is a general term to describe how task-specific motor output is generated from the selective and rapid processing of sensory and motor information. The rodent vibrissal (whisker) system is an important model for the study of sensorimotor integration and active tactile sensing. This research uses the rodent vibrissal...
The rat whisker system has been a longstanding and fruitful model system for sensory neuroscience, because of its status as an œexpert active sensing system, and many open avenues of research still remain. One large-scale goal of the field is to œclose the loop from sensation to movement, modeling how...
