If anyone is looking to donate and direcly see the impact your donations have, this is a good place.
🫡🇺🇦
We got a ton of stuff guys.
My brain can't comprehend it lol
So Illya (he knows English👍) is doing the explaining.
Thank you to everyone who donated but, as always, special shout out to @destiny.gg and his community 💙

An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice - another great piece of work from Sebastian. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Activ...

Brain recordings in freely moving mice reveal that sensory cortices can multitask beyond their known roles, according to a new study, highlighting the importance of naturalistic experiments in sensory neuroscience.

Body state, sensory signals commingle in mouse whisker cortex
The new study challenges a long-held view that the barrel cortex exclusively encodes sensory signals from the whiskers.

We show that barrel cortex not only encodes tactile sensory information but a rich representation of the mouse's body in our latest publication in Current Biology!

Encoding of body state in whisker-related somatosensory cortex of freely moving mice
Gantar, Burgess, Mansour, et al. record neuronal activity from the barrel cortex of freely moving mice and track their 3D pose. They find that multi-dimensional “body state” (configuration of head and...
