Thalamic Neuron Firing Rates in Mice During Repeated Nociception

Electrophysiological recordings of individual thalamic neurons in awake mice during repeated formalin-induced nociception, updated in 2020 by Yeowool Huh. The data tracks firing rate changes in the same neurons across two sessions separated by a one-week interval.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the correlation between tonic firing rates and behavioral nociceptive responses
• Modeling the potentiation of thalamic activity across repeated pain stimuli
• Comparing burst firing properties between the first and second formalin injections

Strengths

• Longitudinal tracking of the same individual neurons over a seven-day interval
• Distinguishes between tonic and burst firing patterns
• Data collected from awake, behaving mice rather than anesthetized subjects

Limitations

• Specific to formalin-induced pain which may not generalize to other nociception types
• Unknown total number of recorded neurons or mice
• Lack of column headers or metadata documentation in the provided summary
