New preprint 🚨

Rat Wetness Response: Sensory Cues, Behavior & Fur-based Drying

tinyurl.com/2yhartpe

Started with a conversation about how rats experience rain 🌧️🐀🧠 in their natural habitat 🌳

Outstanding work with Augustine, Macky, Lingua, Paola, Max, Brecht & the Neural Systems & Behaviour Course

Rats use #eyebrows to sense the wind! Animals use wind sensing (#anemotaxis) for navigation & survival. @annmclemens @brechtlab &co use structural, ephys & behavioral analyses to reveal that supra-orbital #whiskers act as wind antennae in rats #PLOSBiology plos.io/3riXfQV

Thrilled that our paper on rat ‘wind whiskers’ 🐀🌬️🧠 is now out
