项目摘要

Touch and vision are both active senses: we investigate objects by sweeping our hands across them; we investigate the environment by scanning our eyes across it. Similarly, the whisker system of rats and mice is an active sense: these animals explore their environment by rhythmically sweeping their whiskers backwards and forwards ('whisking'). Rodents can tell the location of an object very accurately using their whiskers, but only if they can actively move them. Since it is well-established that different sensory systems in different mammals have profound similarities, studying whiskers can offer important insight into general questions about the brain mechanisms of perception.Most of our current knowledge of the whisker system has come from work on anaesthetised animals. This approach continues to be useful for certain questions but, in an anaesthetised animal, the muscles that control whisker movements are still. To fully understand an active sensory system, it is crucial to study awake, behaving animals. However, in the past it was very difficult to accurately measure precisely how individual whiskers move in an awake animal. Now, however, new methods have been developed that overcome this difficulty. For the first time, it is possible to precisely measure how the whiskers of an awake rat/mouse are moving whilst, at the same time, measuring the electrical activity of the relevant individual brain cells.Surprisingly, there are basic issues about how the very first stage in the whisker system operates in the awake animal, that are not understood. The nerve cells at this first stage are known as 'primary whisker afferents'. In this project, the specific questions we want to answer are as follows. In an awake mouse, what information do the primary afferents convey about whisker movements to the brain? Is the information that primary afferents provide reliable, or can afferent 'noise' account for the errors that animals make in perceptual tasks? We will investigate these questions by using a video speed, high resolution video camera to measure precisely how the whiskers are moving at the same time as we measure the activity of primary afferents from the brain. The proposed experiments will reveal what the input to the brain is under active perception conditions. This research will provide basic knowledge that is pertinent to the effort to develop 'neuroprosthetic devices' to replace damaged nerves (e.g., diabetic neuropathy).
触觉和视觉都是活跃的感官:我们通过将手扫过物体来研究物体;我们通过眼睛扫描环境来研究环境。同样,大鼠和小鼠的胡须系统也是一种活跃的感觉:这些动物通过有节奏地前后扫动胡须来探索环境。啮齿动物可以用它们的胡须非常准确地辨别出物体的位置,但前提是它们能主动移动它们。由于众所周知,不同哺乳动物的不同感觉系统有着深刻的相似之处,研究胡须可以为我们提供关于感知的大脑机制的一般问题的重要见解。我们目前对胡须系统的大部分知识来自于对麻醉动物的研究。这种方法对于某些问题仍然有用,但在麻醉的动物身上,控制胡须运动的肌肉仍然是静止的。为了充分理解一个活跃的感觉系统,研究清醒的、行为的动物是至关重要的。然而,在过去,很难准确地测量清醒的动物体内个别胡须是如何移动的。然而,现在已经开发出了克服这一困难的新方法。这是第一次有可能准确地测量清醒的大鼠/小鼠的胡须是如何移动的,同时测量相关单个脑细胞的电活动。令人惊讶的是,关于胡须系统的第一阶段如何在清醒的动物身上运行的基本问题,人们还不知道。第一阶段的神经细胞被称为“初级胡须传入”。在这个项目中,我们想要回答的具体问题如下。在清醒的小鼠中,初级传入向大脑传递关于胡须运动的哪些信息?初级传入提供的信息可靠吗?或者传入的“噪音”能解释动物在知觉任务中犯的错误吗?我们将通过使用视频速度、高分辨率摄像机来研究这些问题,在我们测量大脑初级传入活动的同时,精确地测量胡须是如何移动的。拟议中的实验将揭示大脑在主动感知条件下的输入是什么。这项研究将提供与开发“神经假体设备”以替代受损神经(例如,糖尿病神经病变)相关的基本知识。
