10. A large territory of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1)in rodents is responsive to vibrissa (whisker) deflection. WithinS1, inputs from each vibrissa are organized into anatomicallydistinguishable clusters of neurons called barrels. One barrelrepresents one vibrissa.
- How experimentally might we reduce the size of a corticalbarrel in S1?
- How might we increase the size of a cortical barrel?
