Group-level statistical maps showing significant responses to mid-frequency whisker pad stimuli across 8 representative slices. White outlines on the statistical maps indicate the regions with P < 0.005 (FWE-corrected), while the color maps are thresholded with t-value > 2. The results are obtained from 208–224 stimulus blocks during 26–28 scans in each group. Values in the top row indicate the approximate distance from bregma for each slice. Statistical maps are overlaid on high-resolution anatomical images. A whole-brain view with 22 slices is shown in Supplementary Fig. S6. H6, hemisphere of cerebellar lobule 6 (simplex); H7a, anterior hemisphere of cerebellar lobule 7 (crus 1 and 2); H7p, posterior hemisphere of cerebellar lobule 7 (paramedian 1); Iso + med, isoflurane and medetomidine anesthesia; Po, posterior thalamic nuclei; Pr5/Sp5, principal trigeminal nuclei and spinal trigeminal nuclei; RSC, retrosplenial cortex; S1bf, primary somatosensory cortex, barrel field; S1lip, primary somatosensory cortex, lip region; TeA, temporal association cortex; V7–8, vermis of cerebellar lobules 7 and 8; VPM, ventral posteromedial thalamic nuclei.
