...sense of touch, and it's their whiskers that do most of that work for them. What researchers never knew was precisely how elaborate that tactile system is, nor exactly how it operates. But in research that will be published in the Feb. 28 issue of Neuron, investigators at MIT have come up with an imaginative tool for finding out: high-speed video technology that works at 3,200 frames per second - approximately 100 times faster than home video. "There were hypotheses before," says Christopher Moore, member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and senior author...
...used in many laboratory experiments and their whiskers function in a similar way to the human sense of touch, it is important to understand how they perceive objects and sense surfaces. "Most of modern biology is based on studying rodents," says Moore. "It is crucial to understand them." While MIT's research has figured out much of the unknown about the mechanics of the rats' whiskers, future research still needs to be done to understand how their brains actually decode and interprets the information...
