Short Time-Scale Sensory Coding in S1 during Discrimination of Whisker Vibrotactile Sequences.

Rodent whisker input consists of dense microvibration sequences that are often temporally integrated for perceptual discrimination. Whether primary somatosensory cortex (S1) participates in temporal integration is unknown. We trained rats to discriminate whisker impulse sequences that varied in sing...
