Comparative Analysis of the Morphology and Materials Properties of Pinniped Vibrissae [PDF]
, 2011 Vibrissae (whiskers) are important components of the mammalian tactile sensory system, and primarily function as detectors of environmental vibrotactile cues.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4227-4245, August 2026.Background and Purpose α‐Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the aggregation and propagation of misfolded α‐synuclein. In Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common α‐synucleinopathy, the progression of motor and nonmotor deficits, and dopaminergic neuron loss, are closely linked to the spreading of misfolded α‐synuclein ...

Circuits in the Ventral Medulla That Phase-Lock Motoneurons for Coordinated Sniffing and Whisking
Neural Plasticity, 2016 The exploratory behavior of rodents is characterized by stereotypical movements of the vibrissae, nose, and head, which are phase locked with rapid respiration, that is, sniffing.

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 16, Page 4715-4734, August 2026.Abstract Background and Purpose New synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) are associated with severe adverse effects, including unexpected psychiatric symptoms. These compounds are mainly active through their potent agonism on the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.

Tuning curves for seal vibrissae (wide side stimulation) and those for rat vibrissae.
, 2013 The y-axis of each plot shows the natural logarithm of the ratio of the vibrissa displacement to the air displacement. It is clear that the seal vibrissae give more sharply-tuned curves.

Protein kinase Cδ and pharmacomechanical coupling: Re‐envisioning cerebral vascular control
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6324-6347, 1 August 2026.Abstract figure legend Top, G‐protein coupled receptors trigger electromechanical and pharmacomechanical coupling, the latter via signal transduction pathways that inhibit myosin light chain phosphatase. Middle, the relative contribution of electromechanical and pharmacomechanical coupling varies with the concentration and the vessel area to which ...

Seal Whiskers Vibrate Over Broad Frequencies During Hydrodynamic Tracking
Scientific Reports, 2017 Although it is known that seals can use their whiskers (vibrissae) to extract relevant information from complex underwater flow fields, the underlying functioning of the system and the signals received by the sensors are poorly understood.
