Nat Commun
. 2025 Jan;
16(1):499.
PMID: 39779697
Understanding vibrissal transduction has advanced by serial sectioning and identified afferent recordings, but afferent mapping onto the complex, encapsulated follicle remains unclear. Here, we reveal male rat C2 vibrissa follicle...

1538(1):85-97.
PMID: 39101712
Elephants are known for strongly lateralized trunk behaviors, but the mechanisms driving elephant lateralization are poorly understood. Here, we investigate features of elephant mouth organization that presumably promote lateralization. We...

PMID: 38898274
Locating sound sources such as prey or predators is critical for survival in many vertebrates. Terrestrial vertebrates locate sources by measuring the time delay and intensity difference of sound pressure...

PMID: 37426763
Here, we present an X-ray-visible neural tracer, referred to as DiI-CT, which is based on the well-established lipophilic indocarbocyanine dye DiI, to which we conjugated two iodine atoms. The tracer...

PMID: 37410722
We know little about mammalian anemotaxis or wind sensing. Recently, however, Hartmann and colleagues showed whisker-based anemotaxis in rats. To investigate how whiskers sense airflow, we first tracked whisker tips...

PMID: 37291455
Behavior and innervation suggest a high tactile sensitivity of elephant trunks. To clarify the tactile trunk periphery we studied whiskers with the following findings. Whisker density is high at the...
