Whiskers aid anemotaxis in rats
Observation of terrestrial mammals suggests that they can follow the wind (anemotaxis), but the sensory cues underlying this ability have not been studied. We identify a significant contribution to anemotaxis mediated by whiskers (vibrissae), a modality previously studied only in the context of direct tactile contact. Five rats trained on a five-alternative forced-choice airflow localization ta...
متن کاملBiological effects of inhaled magnesium sulphate whiskers in rats.
Male Wistar rats were exposed to two types of magnesium sulphate whiskers by inhalation for six hours a day, five days a week, for four weeks (sub-chronic study), or for one year (chronic study) to clarify the biological effects of the whiskers. There were few whiskers detected in the rat lungs even at one day after the exposure, suggesting that they are dissolved and eliminated rapidly from th...
متن کاملWhat the Whiskers Tell the Brain
A fundamental question in the investigation of any sensory system is what physical signals drive its sensory neurons during natural behavior. Surprisingly, in the whisker system, it is only recently that answers to this question have emerged. Here, we review the key developments, focussing mainly on the first stage of the ascending pathway - the primary whisker afferents (PWAs). We first consid...
متن کاملExpression of heme oxygenase-1 in the lungs of rats exposed to potassium octatitanate whiskers.
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is thought to be the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis induced by asbestos, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects lung tissue against oxidative stress. We hypothesized that HO-1 is also associated with oxidative lung injury caused by exposure to potassium octatitanate whiskers (PT1), which is one of the asbestos substitutes. METHODS Male Wistar rats were administer...
متن کاملTin Whiskers Remain A Concern
The elimination of lead in electronic equipment due to governmental regulations (European Union End of Life Vehicle Directive and European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) has increased the risk of electrical shorting due to the formation of tin whiskers in electronic products. Tin whiskers are hair-like tin structures that grow sporadically on surfaces coated with tin. Whis...
