...vibrate against an object to perceive its shape and texture. The video technology revealed the fluid micromotions of the whiskers, which send signals to the brain where they're interpreted as a sensory experience. What's more, the scientists were also able to study how different kinds of whiskers transmit different kinds of sensations. Short hairs, which are located on the front of the snout, transmit higher frequencies and vibrate fastest, while longer whiskers, which are further back, move slower and transmit lower frequencies. Says Moore: "They behave like the strings on a harp...

Another message reminds folks to keep an eye on their valuables. Eventually, the council wants to run contests to pick school children to voice some of the messages...
...triggers a cascade of other chemical changes - in her immune system, in blood levels of sex hormones, or perhaps in cell-signaling proteins called cytokines - that may indirectly affect early fetal development. Whatever the exact mechanism, its effects lend credence to the theory that starting early in pregnancy, "mothers transmit information to their fetus about what condition they're likely to be born into - whether they're going to be thrifty and expect to be in a relative state of starvation, for example, or whether they can expect plenty - a clear evolutionary advantage," says Abel. "But it may be that...
