Abstract
Objective: To summarize the state of research in the whisker-to-barrel sensorimotor system based on presentations at the Barrels meeting.Methods: Host the 34th annual Barrels meeting was hosted virtually due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.Results: The Barrels meeting annually focuses on the latest advances in the rodent sensorimotor research. The keynotes featured talks on advanced imaging techniques and the role microglia play in shaping neural circuits. The thematic presentations focused on the role of neocortical layer I, neural control of navigation and locomotion and finally on the utility of psychedelic drugs to study perception. The invited speakers were complemented by submitted short talks and poster presentations from the attendees.Conclusions: The 34th Annual Barrels meeting provided a critical review of the state of the field.
期刊介绍:
Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality papers that encompass the entire range of investigations related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and modeling thereof. Comprising anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioural, and psychophysical studies, Somatosensory & Motor Research covers all facets of the peripheral and central processes underlying cutaneous sensation, and includes studies relating to afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Studies of motor systems at all levels of the neuraxis are covered, but reports restricted to non-neural aspects of muscle generally would belong in other journals.
