OFC and Insula ChR2 Virus Expression: Spread Quantification

Quantitative data on the spread of Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) virus injections in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and insula brain regions. The dataset was authored by Ileana Morales and last updated on April 12, 2026. It is stored in an XLSX file with a size of 311.9 KB.

Use Cases

• Quantify viral expression spread based on injection site data.
• Analyze the relationship between fiber optic tip placement and expression area.
• Model the diffusion patterns of ChR2 virus in the OFC and insula.
• Validate optogenetic targeting precision for experimental design.

Strengths

• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size is 311.9 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.
• Last update timestamp (2026-04-12) is explicitly provided.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 311.9 KB file size suggests a very limited scope of data.
