Simultaneous extracellular recordings from left and right hippocampal areas CA1 and right entorhinal cortex from a rat performing a left / right alternation task and other behaviors. [about]
The data set contains recordings made using a silicon probe from three areas from a single rat that was performing different behavioral tasks. The three regions recorded from are left and right hippocampal CA1 and right entorhinal cortex. The tasks are a left/right alternate selection task, wheel running, and platform exploration. The neural data was recorded on 125 channels. Included in the data set are the following items:
- Waveforms of putative spikes extracted from original raw broadband data
- LFPs (local field potentials)
- Results of spike sorting
- Information about the animal behavior during the experiment
