The Morphology of the Rat Vibrissal Array: A Model for Quantifying Spatiotemporal Patterns of Whisker-Object Contact
Figure 9
Comparison between photographs of the vibrissal array, 3D scans of the vibrissal array, and the model of the vibrissal array.
Care was taken to ensure similar head orientations for all images within a row. (Left column) Photographs of an anesthetized rat. (Middle column) Scanned 3D images of another rat. (Right column) Model of the vibrissal array generated from the parameter values in Table 2, equations in Table 3, and equation 10.
