Cerebral Injury in Mini Pigs Induced by Underwater Infrasound

A study systematically evaluated cerebral injury in Bama mini pigs induced by underwater infrasound. Forty-two animals were exposed to infrasound at 8, 12, and 20 Hz at a depth of 10 meters, with cerebral function assessed via EEG and morphological injuries evaluated via staining and RNA sequencing. The dataset was published on figshare by Xia Liu under a CC-BY-4.0 license and last updated on 2026-05-13.

Use Cases

• Analyze EEG alterations in specific brain regions based on infrasound frequency and intensity levels mentioned in the description.
• Investigate correlations between histological injury, neuron density, and cell apoptosis based on exposure to different infrasound frequencies.
• Explore transcriptomic pathways related to immune response and cell apoptosis activated by underwater infrasound exposure.
• Compare the bioeffects of infrasound in air versus underwater environments based on the experimental setup described.

Strengths

• Experimental data from a controlled study involving 42 Bama mini pigs across seven groups.
• Multiple assessment methods are described, including EEG, histological staining, ELISA assays, and RNA sequencing.
• Exposure parameters are precisely defined with specific frequencies (8, 12, 20 Hz) and sound pressure levels.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 13.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
