Rat whisker motor cortex is subdivided into sensory-input and motor-output areas

Rodent whisking is an exploratory behavior that can be modified by sensory feedback. Consistent with this, many whisker-sensitive cortical regions project to agranular motor (MI) cortex, but the relative topography of these afferent projections has not been established. Intracranial microstimulation...
