British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5586-5601, September 2026.Background and Purpose Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder caused by mutation of β‐globin. In SCD, haemoglobin polymerization causes red blood cells to assume a rigid sickle‐shape leading to neurovascular alterations, including development of vascular dementia – characterized by cognitive impairment and reduced cerebral perfusion ...

Detection of tactile inputs in the rat vibrissa pathway
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2012 The rapid detection of sensory inputs is crucial for survival. Sensory detection explicitly requires the integration of incoming sensory information and the ability to distinguish between relevant information and ongoing neural activity. In this study, head-fixed rats were trained to detect the presence of a brief deflection of their whiskers ...

Selection for an Invariant·Character, Vibrissa Number, in the House Mouse [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1958 The number of secondary vibrissae in the mouse is normally 19. The tabby gene reduces this to about half and causes a marked variability of vibrissa number. Selection on tabby mice for increase and decrease in vibrissa number has been successful. These selection lines were maintained in segregation for + and Ta alleles, and this selection, practised ...

Vibrissa growth rate in California sea lions based on environmental and isotopic oscillations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pinniped vibrissae provide information on changes in diet at seasonal and annual scales; however, species-specific growth patterns must first be determined in order to interpret these data.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 681-692, September 2026.ABSTRACT Micoureus is the most species‐rich subgenus within the genus Marmosa. Conflicting arrangements regarding the number of species comprising this subgenus have been proposed and the validity of M. budini has been debated. Here, we used an approach integrating genetic and morphological data were conducted to reanalyze the ‘rapposa’ group ...

Ecosphere, 2016 Biological markers (biomarkers) are invaluable and widely adopted in ecology, archaeology, and anthropology. Serially sampling biomarkers along continuously growing inert tissue, such as vibrissae, hair, nail, horn, or baleen, is an ideal method by which

Cutaneous and periodontal inputs to the cerebellum of the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber)
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2013 The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a small fossorial rodent with specialized dentition that is reflected by the large cortical area dedicated to representation of the prominent incisors.

Molecular expression associated with vibrissa follicle development and differentiation [PDF]
, 2006 The hair follicle is a complex mini-organ formed as a result of epithelial mesenchymal interactions, provided by three different stem cell sources: epithelial, neural crest and mesenchymal.

Predicted tuning curves for rat vibrissae in water.
, 2013 The y-axis of each plot demonstrates the natural logarithm of the ratio of the maximum vibrissa displacement to the maximum water displacement. Tuning is less observable for rat vibrissae in water than it is for seal vibrissae in water (Figure 13).
