After receiving an intraperitoneal injection of [14C]2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a total of 28 mice which had pieces of metal wire glued to certain whiskers (all others were clipped) were exposed to magnetic field bursts. The stimulated whiskers were B1 (freely moving mice, set I) or whiskers C1-3 and E1 (restrained mice, set II) on the left side. In set I, stimulated mice were compared with animals of various control groups. Autoradiography demonstrated an activation of columnar shape overlying the presumed corresponding barrel contralateral to stimulation; in a part of the ipsilateral barrelfield, 2-DG uptake was depressed significantly. In the subnuclei caudalis and interpolaris of the trigeminal brainstem complex a spot of activation was observed ipsilaterally but there was no depression contralaterally. Whereas several animals of the control groups showed some aspects of these responses, they were consistent only in stimulated mice. In set II, animals received stimulation with different intensities. 2-DG uptake was higher in barrels C1-3 than in E1. It increased with increasing intensity. The same observations were made in two nuclei of termination. The device we describe here can be used to study stimulus-specific responses at various levels of the somatosensory pathway.
