Non-homogeneous spatial configuration of vibrissae cortical representation in layer IV of the barrel somatosensory cortex

In the present experiments we studied exclusive and overlapping cortical representational áreas of the vibrissae in layer IV cells, across the entire barrel subfield of the rat somatosensory cortex, looking for evidences that would challenge the present assumptions of homogeneity and symmetry among...
