Enhanced tactile coding in rat neocortex under darkness
Sensory systems are known for their adaptability, responding dynamically to changes in environmental conditions. A key example of this adaptability is the enhancement of tactile perception in the absence of visual input. Despite behavioral studies showing visual deprivation can improve tactile discrimination, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly how tactile neural representations are…
