Neurotransmission in Guinea Pig Brains
Description
This dataset, guineapig_neurotransmission_df, is a data frame containing measurements
of spontaneous current amplitudes recorded from individual brain cells in adult guinea pigs.
The study investigated whether synaptic transmission occurs in quantal units, which would
manifest as multimodal amplitude distributions with regularly spaced peaks.
Usage
data(guineapig_neurotransmission_df)
Format
A data frame with 346 observations and 1 variable:
- y
Numeric: Peak amplitude of spontaneous synaptic currents (pA or similar units)
Details
The dataset name has been kept as 'guineapig_neurotransmission_df' to avoid confusion
with other datasets in the R ecosystem. This naming convention helps distinguish
this dataset as part of the NeuroDataSets package. The suffix 'df' indicates
that the dataset is a data frame. The original content has not been modified.
Source
Data taken from the boot package version 1.3-31. Original study:
Paulsen, O. and Heggelund, P. (1994) The quantal size at retinogeniculate synapses
determined from spontaneous and evoked EPSCs in guinea-pig thalamic slices.
Journal of Physiology, 480, 505–511.
