The corpus callosum enables the transfer of information between cerebral hemispheres. In the context of somatosensory stimuli, each hemisphere predominantly processes information originating from the contralateral side of the body through thalamocortical innervation. To a lesser extent, information from the ipsilateral side is also processed and relies on the involvement of callosal axons. We aim to understand the role of these callosal axons in ipsilateral signaling. To study this, we employ the mice whisker system due to its clear somatotopical organization by which the input from a whisker
