This article will briefly cover: Organisation of the vibrissal array (macro- and micro-vibrissae); Material properties and mechanical characteristics of vibrissae; theoretical and experimental studies of the effects of whisker deflection on bending, resonance, etc.; cross-species differences in whisker morphology (within rodents primarily but include other species if you wish)
