Discriminative whisking in the head-fixed rat: optoelectronic monitoring during tactile detection and discrimination tasks

We compared whisking movement patterns during acquisition of tactile detection and object discrimination under conditions in which (a) head movements are excluded and (b) exposure to tactile discriminanda is confined to the large, moveable vibrissae (macrovibrissae). We used optoelectronic instrumen...
