Figure 7. Bilateral kainic-acid injection produces independent vibrissa movements on the left and right sides of the face.

Figure 7

(a) Movement of the left (dark blue) and right (light blue) C2 vibrissae following kainic acid injections. Similar results were obtained in a total of 2 rats. (b) Power spectra (top; dark and light blue) and spectral coherence (bottom; black) between the movements of each of the vibrissae in panel a. The two signals are show low coherence in the band of whisking frequencies relative to control data for bilateral active whisking in alert animals (bottom; gray). Control data are from Fee et al.24. All animal procedures were approved by the IACUC at UC San Diego.
