The little Tom Kitten runs away from his mother up the chimney and, through a crack in the wall, he finds himself under the floor of the attic. Here he meets Mr. Samuel Whiskers and his wife Anna Maria, two rats, that capture him with the intention of eating him in a pudding. Tom's siblings understand the plan and with the help of their mother and John Joiner, the carpenter, free Tom and scare off the couple of rats. Illustrated with Potter's beautiful watercolors.The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned, Hill Top, was an old house with thick walls and many hiding places for rats and mice. In The Tale of Samuel Whiskers this farmhouse is Tom Kitten's home and the story tells what happens when Tom accidently comes upon the rat Samuel Whiskers living in a secret hideout behind the attic walls.

"The Rambles of a Rat" by A. L. O. E. (Charlotte Maria Tucker) is a charming and delightful tale that takes readers on an enchanting journey through the eyes of a clever and adventurous rat named Whisker. The story follows Whisker as he embarks on a series of exciting adventures, encountering both friends and foes in the human world. Whisker, a curious and intelligent rat, lives in a cozy little hole beneath the floorboards of an old cottage. Tired of his mundane life, he yearns to explore the world beyond his humble abode. One day, Whisker summons up the courage to venture out into the great unknown. As he explores the world outside, Whisker encounters a variety of experiences and challenges. He meets a colorful cast of characters, from kind-hearted animals to grumpy humans, each leaving a lasting impression on him. Along the way, Whisker learns valuable life lessons about friendship, bravery, and the importance of empathy. Throughout his escapades, Whisker's witty and mischievous nature leads him into comical and sometimes dangerous situations. He faces perilous encounters with cunning predators and narrowly escapes several close calls, all while relying on his quick wit and resourcefulness. One of the highlights of Whisker's journey is his encounter with a group of young children who befriend him. Through this unexpected friendship, Whisker learns that not all humans are to be feared, and that genuine kindness and compassion exist in the world. As Whisker's rambles continue, he becomes a well-traveled rat with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the world around him. The story culminates in a heartwarming conclusion as Whisker returns home with a treasure trove of memories and experiences to share with his rat family. "The Rambles of a Rat" is a delightful tale that captures the essence of adventure and wonder. Charlotte Maria Tucker's engaging storytelling and her ability to create relatable animal characters make this book a timeless and enjoyable read for readers of all ages."

Resonance And Texture Coding In The Rat Whisker System written by Jason Hunter Wolfe and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with categories.
The sense of touch provides information about the texture of an object with much better resolution than the other senses. Primates perceive texture by actively moving their fingertips over an object and encoding the resulting spatiotemporal patterns of activation of mechanoreceptors in the skin. Within the primate fingertip many types of mechanoreceptors are densely packed in the skin making it difficult to study the individual components of these complex patterns. Rats' ability to discriminate texture using the whiskers is comparable to humans using the fingertips and due to its discrete array of whiskers on the facial pad the rat whisker system offers considerable advantages for studying texture coding. However, to date, very little is known about how behaving rats actively use their whiskers to extract texture information and how this information is encoded in the nervous system. Currently there are two main hypotheses on how rats perform texture discrimination using their whiskers. In one hypothesis, whisker motion across a texture is underdamped, and texture properties drive whisker resonance as the whisker moves across a surface. In this model, the systematic variation in resonance frequency across whiskers enables texture to be encoded by the differential amplitude of vibration across whiskers. In a second, alternative hypothesis, resonance is diminished due to damping and texture information is encoded in the precise motion of each whisker across the surface. Both of these hypotheses are supported by experiments performed in anesthetized animals, however to resolve this debate it is critical to examine whisker dynamics in awake animals to determine 1) to what extent whisker resonance shapes sensory input during active whisker use and 2) how whisker dynamics reflect texture properties when the whiskers are under active muscular control. Chapter 2 of this dissertation examines whisker vibrations measured in behaving animals trained to whisk in air. We show that, in the absence of any sensory stimulus, high frequency whisker vibrations are presents and that these are filtered by whisker resonance. This suggests that, in the awake behaving animal, resonance can play a role in shaping sensory responses in the whiskers. Chapter 3 shows that active palpation onto textures can induce whisker resonance. However we argue that the degree to which resonance occurs is not dependent on the spatial properties of the texture and therefore it is unlikely to be critical for texture encoding arguing against the resonance hypothesis. We present an alternative model for texture encoding based on the magnitude of stick-slip events that were found to occur during texture palpation. We also examine the role that muscles may play in causing these stick-slip events. Chapter 4 concludes by presenting preliminary results of the neural response to stick-slip events. We show that the spiking probability of a subset of neurons is greatly increased following a texture-induced slip and that the spiking probability increases with slip acceleration, as would be required for the texture encoding hypothesis presented in chapter 3.
