The thalamic input to the barrelfield of rats with a solitary mystacial vibrissa (C3) intact was examined using succinic dehydrogenase techniques. Rats were lesioned on postnatal day (PD) 1 and brains examined at either 7, 12, 21 or 28 days later. The resultant segmentation in the hemisphere contralateral to the lesioned muzzle consisted of fused rows (A to E). At all ages row C differed from the other rows in that the center of the row was enlarged and separated from the row on either side of it. Thus the presence of a single vibrissa is sufficient to organize the thalamic input to its barrel.
使用琥珀酸脱氢酶技术检查了具有完整单一触须（C3）的大鼠桶状皮质的丘脑输入。在出生后第1天（PD1）对大鼠进行损伤，并在7、12、21或28天后检查大脑。在损伤口鼻对侧的半球中产生的分割由融合的行（A至E）组成。在所有年龄段，C行与其他行不同，其行中心扩大并与其两侧的行分开。因此，单个触须的存在足以组织丘脑对其桶状皮质的输入。
