Happy birthday to #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my #linocut with his discovery (along with medical student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, along with the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.
Some species of rodents have a region of the somatosensory cortex that was named the #barrelcortex after its shape, and which contains the barrel field. 🧵

This study provides a transcriptomic atlas of the developing mouse barrel cortex, identifying temporal gene expression changes during postnatal maturation. Sensory experience minimally affects neuronal cell type maturation and conserved molecular mechanisms underlie cortical development and plasticity.
Another scientist for #VirtualArtOfNeuro - #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my print with his discovery (along with med student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, plus the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.
