What the Whiskers Tell the Brain

•With new methods, mechanical forces acting on whiskers can be estimated during behavior.•This has yielded new understanding of tactile coding, rooted in mechanics.•Study of primary afferents helps to elucidate function of thalamo-cortical circuitry. A fundamental question in the investigation of an...
