From: Follicle architecture and innervation of functionally distinct rat vibrissae

Fig. 5

a Volume rendering showing asymmetric innervation (blue) and ringwulst (yellow) across different vibrissae as indicated above. b Polar histograms showing innervation polarization toward the ringwulst aperture across different vibrissae. c Polarization index measured by the relative amount of afferents (%) on the ringwulst aperture side. Trident in red, micro in green, lSO in blue, and C2 in orange.
