Functional architecture of the mystacial vibrissae
Behavioural Brain Research, 1997We investigated the transduction operation and function of the mystacial vibrissae, using a comparative morphological analysis and behavioral experiments in rats. Vibrissal architecture was documented in a series of mammals to identify evolutionary conserved features of vibrissal organization.

Pseudofolliculitis can occur wherever hair is cut. A perforating, ingrowing vibrissa developed in our patient, who admitted to cutting his nasal hair. We call this condition, "pseudofolliculitis vibrissa."

The ultrastructure and innervation of rat vibrissae
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1966AbstractThe innervation of rat vibrissae has been studied by light and electron microscopy. Nerve fibers enter the external root sheath and become associated with Merkel cells. Merkel cells are specialized sheath cells containing many secretory granules apposed to the neurite.

The early development of mystacial vibrissae in the mouse
Development, 1984ABSTRACT The initial generation of the pattern of mystacial vibrissae (whiskers) in the mouse is described. The maxillary process is present in 10-day embryos but has a relatively flat surface. Beginning at approximately 11·5 days, the first sign of vibrissal development is the formation of ridges and grooves on the maxillary and lateral

The frequency response of rat vibrissae to sound
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008The motion of isolated rat vibrissae due to low frequency sound has been modeled and measured with good agreement (within a factor of 2) between the data and the model’s predictions. As had been done in previous studies on the response of rat vibrissae to tactile stimulation [Hartmann, M. J., Johnson, N. J., Towal, R. B., and Assad, C., J. Neurosci 23,

Innervation of nonmystacial vibrissae in the adult rat
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1995AbstractVibrissal follicle‐sinus complexes (F‐SCs) in the mystacial pad of rodents are heavily innervated by different types of sensory nerve endings. One site in mystacial F‐SCs, the inner conical body (ICB), is uniquely well innervated only in those species, such as the rat, that rhythmically whisk their mystacial vibrissae.

Vibrissae Structure in the Rhesus Monkey
Folia Primatologica, 1970Most mammals and all primates, except man, develop vibrissae on the face. Histologically, the sinus hairs around the mouth and across the brow ridges of rhesus monkeys resemble those of nonprimate mammals except for their smaller size and follicles lack of skeletal muscle attachments.

AbstractThis chapter reviews the anatomical characteristics of the rat's vibrissa sensory apparatus and its growth and dynamic functional characteristics. Topics discussed include the structure and growth of the vibrissal system, motor aspects of vibrissae function, sensory aspects of vibrissae function, and vibrissa system plasticity.

Effects of Genotype on Radiosensitivity of Vibrissae
Radiation Research, 1964mouse-a clear demonstration that the differences in survival were not due simply to general reduced viability of the mutant. Further convincing evidence of the importance of genotype in radiosensitivity is Roderick's (4) demonstration that selection for resistance to radiation may be successful. The effects of radiation on developing mouse fetuses have

Manatee vibrissae: evidence for a “lateral line” function
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011Aquatic mammals use vibrissae to detect hydrodynamic stimuli over a range from 5 to 150 Hz, similar to the range detected by lateral line systems in fishes and amphibians. Manatees possess ∼5,300 vibrissae distributed over the body, innervated by ∼209,000 axons.
