Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchy of orofacial rhythms revealed through whisking and breathing

TL;DR: This work delineates a distinct region in the ventral medulla that provides rhythmic input to the facial motor neurons that drive protraction of the vibrissae, and conjecture that the respiratory nuclei, which project to other premotor regions for oral and facial control, function as a master clock for behaviours that coordinate with breathing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary Motor Cortex Reports Efferent Control of Vibrissa Motion on Multiple Timescales
TL;DR: The combined results from this study and past measurements show that primary sensory cortex codes the whisking envelope as a motor copy signal, imply that signals present in both sensory and motor cortices are necessary to compute angular coordinates based on vibrissa touch.
Journal ArticleDOI
How the brainstem controls orofacial behaviors comprised of rhythmic actions.
TL;DR: This work discusses three neural computational mechanisms that may enable circuits for different actions to operate without interfering with each other and proposes experimental programs for delineating the neural control principles that have evolved to coordinate orofacial behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sniffing and whisking in rodents
TL;DR: The similarities between sniffing and whisking are reviewed and it is suggested that such similarities indicate a mechanistic link between these two rhythmic exploratory behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrissa Self-Motion and Touch Are Reliably Encoded along the Same Somatosensory Pathway from Brainstem through Thalamus.
TL;DR: It is found that neurons along the lemniscal pathway robustly encode rhythmic whisking on a cycle-by-cycle basis, while encoding along the paralemniscal pathway is relatively poor.
