Supra-barrel Distribution of Directional Tuning for Global Motion in the Mouse Somatosensory Cortex

Summary: Rodents explore their environment with an array of whiskers, inducing complex patterns of whisker deflections. Cortical neuronal networks can extract global properties of tactile scenes. In the primary somatosensory cortex, the information relative to the global direction of a spatiotempora...
