Effects of varying the number of total simulated synapses in bulk stimulation conditions on statistical significance. (A) Sample size required to reach statistical significance (i.e., p < 0.05) vs. number of total synapses in simulated DSE (blue) in bulk stimulation whole-cell recorded experiments. (B) As in (A), but in simulated eSP (red) instead DSE. (C) Simulated field recording experiments of a synapse population comprised of cells undergoing DSE or eSP with variable number of total synapses (black).
