Rat Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity Data from Combined Light-Magnetic Stimulation

24.4 KB of experimental data on long-term potentiation and depression in rat hippocampal slices. Yu Zheng's 2026 study combined light and magnetic field stimulation synchronized with musical rhythms to modulate synaptic plasticity. The dataset records changes in fEPSP responses under single and combined stimulation modes.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of single versus combined physical stimulation on synaptic plasticity based on LTP/LTD measurements.
• Analyze the relationship between specific musical rhythm synchronization and neural modulation effects described in the study.
• Model the synergistic effects of light and magnetic fields on hippocampal Schaffer-CA1 region activity.
• Benchmark novel neural stimulation protocols against the recorded fEPSP response data.

Strengths

• Data is from a controlled in vitro brain slice experiment with a designed high spatial resolution stimulation system.
• Explicitly records changes in both long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD).
• Released under the permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 24.4 KB, indicating limited scope and sample size.
• Data is from a specific experimental setup on rat hippocampus; generalizability to other systems is unclear.
