About lgn-1

Summary of the data

The data contain the spiking responses of LGN neurons in the mouse to drifting grating.  Responses of 72 neurons are included in the data set.  Many of these neurons are in the data set published in:

Emergence of orientation selectivity in the mammalian visual pathway.  Benjamin Scholl, Andrew Y.Y. Tan, Joe Corey and Nicholas J. Priebe.; J. Neurosci. 33(26):10616-10624.

Format of the data

The data are stored in MatLab files.  The response of each neuron is stored in a separate file.  Within each file is an array giving the spike response of the neuron for each stimulus condition and trial repeat; and another array describing each stimulus condition.  Details of the format are in the README file included in the data set.  Total space for all the data is about 400K Bytes (uncompressed).
