[The organizational characteristics of the motor representation of the vibrissae in the frontal cortex of the rat].

Bilateral mapping of the frontal cortex of rat has been performed. The internal topographic organization of motor zones of the vibrissae was revealed with the low-threshold microstimulation. The comparison of the right and left hemispheres demonstrated some asymmetry in the vibrissae motor representation, its territory in the right hemisphere being larger than that in the left one.
