Disruption in Patterning in the Whisker-to-Barrel Cortex Pathway Alters Behavior
Joanna M.F. Lutchman, Sarah A.F. Lutchman, Joshua C. Brumberg
This study examines how disruption of somatotopic patterning in the whisker-to-barrel pathway affects behavior in mice, finding that BRL mice can discriminate textures while Prrxl1-/- mice cannot, with both showing increased anxiety.
