Early mechanisms of whisker development: Prdm1 and its regulation in whisker development and evolutionary loss

2021-03-12

Abstract excerpt

Whiskers (vibrissae) are miniaturized organs that are designed for tactile sensing. Extremely conserved among mammals, they underwent a reduction in primates and disappeared in the human lineage. Furthermore, whiskers are highly innervated and their mechanoceptors signal to the primary somatosensory cortex, where a column of neurons called “barrel” represents each of them. This structure, known as barrel cortex, o...
