This lecture explores how glutamatergic synapses play a crucial role in relaying sensory information from the periphery to the neocortex, focusing on the Mouse Whisker System as a model. It delves into the organization of the primary somatosensory neocortex, the wiring diagrams of microcircuits, and the importance of large amplitude synapses in driving reliable sensory processing.
