title: Mice can learn roughness discrimination with vibrissae in a jump stand apparatus.
abstract: An adaptation of roughness discrimination task successfully used on rats was performed on mice. It was found that mice can master discrimination of rough surfaces using only mystacial vibrissae. This task can be used for studying sensory abilities of genetically modified mice as well as dynamics and pharmacology of complex sensory learning.
