Figure 5. Similar assessment of stroke‐induced synaptic plasticity with whole‐cell recordings and local field potentials.

The distributions of the H‐F indexes, which express the relative strength of the synaptic inputs driven stimulation of the two limbs, were comparable within each experimental group, when calculated after in vivo whole‐cell recordings and LFPs (controls: left; 2 days after stroke: middle; 2 weeks after stroke: right; Mann–Whitney rank tests, P = 0.73, 0.39 and 0.10, respectively). Data are the mean ± SD.
