Architecture of the Medulla in Mammalian Vibrissae: Polymorphism and Nomenclature
Doklady Biological SciencesFor the first time, scanning electron microscopy was used to identify, study, and systematize the architecture of the vibrissa medulla in 101 species from 80 genera belonging to eight orders of Mammalia, using an original nomenclature. A wide architectural variation is due to the diversity of sizes and relationships of vibrissal internal compartments ...

Barrels, Vibrissae, and Topographic Representations
1988In the cerebral cortex, a barrel is a group of neurons shaped as such and visible with a microscope and in some cases with the naked eye. Each barrel is a cylindroid located in the middle layers of the somatosensory cortex of many rodents and certain other mammals and receives segregated inputs related to individual tactile organs called vibrissae or ...

One theory stating that vibrissae removal produces impairment of spatial orientation capacity was confirmed. The other stating that it causes a depressive state of hopelessness and sudden death could not be confirmed.
