Barrel Cortex

Barrel Cortex is a specialized region of the somatosensory cortex characterized by its distinct cytoarchitectural organization into barrel-shaped modules that correspond topographically to individual whiskers on the contralateral face, serving as a primary neural substrate for processing tactile sensory input in rodents.
