Extended Data Fig. 7: Example effects of ablations of whisking and silent neurons.
a, Example ablation of a whisking neuron. Left, example maps for touch (top, blue) and whisking (bottom, green) cells before ablation. Sphere size corresponds to Rtouch (top) or Rwhisking (bottom) values. Grey dots denote other neurons. These maps exclude the ablated neurons, the position of which is indicated by a faint orange background. Centre, Rtouch (top) and Rwhisking (bottom) values for the ablated population. Right, Rtouch (top) and Rwhisking (bottom) values after ablation, with ablated neurons again excluded. b, As in a, but for ablation of silent neurons.
