Adjustment in mouse whiskers

A mouse that loses one whisker becomes more sensitive to his remaining whiskers, because neurons in the touch-related cortical region rewire to receive inputs from the spared whiskers. When scientists recorded neural activity before and after trimming a mouse whisker, they found that it was the less active neurons that became more sensitive to spared whiskers.8
