The Morphology of the Rat Vibrissal Array: A Model for Quantifying Spatiotemporal Patterns of Whisker-Object Contact
Figure 5
Whisker length dependence on position in the array.
(A) Each panel shows whisker length as a function of column position within a single whisker row. Error bars are standard deviations of the mean in all panels (G = Greek). The solid gray line in the bottom right panel shows the best linear fit to the averaged data (correlation coefficient r = −0.74). (B) Thick black lines show the whisker length trend within a row (across columns) and the thin black lines show the trends within a column. Grey panels are visual aids only.
