About hc-18
Summary
Action potentials and local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded from the dorsal hippocampus (CA1) of five Long-Evans rats during sleep and behavior. During behavior, the rats were placed on a miniature treadmill transported by a model train. Passive travel disrupts theta spike phase precession, unless the animals actively walk on a treadmill (Cei et al., 2014). In subsequent subsessions, the treadmill was either turned off or on to selectively perturb theta phase precession or leave it intact. Perturbation of theta phase precession impaired theta sequences and subsequent sleep replay. This provided evidence that theta sequences are critical to store initial memory traces that are subsequently replayed for memory consolidation. Results from the experiments are described in:
The data set includes 5 sessions, each consisting of three travel sessions (passive, active, passive; 2×~15 laps each) interspersed with sleep sessions (~90 min each). Hippocampal signals were recorded bilaterally using sixteen independently movable tetrodes or octrodes (64‒128 channels). Data include sorted spikes (times, clusters, featres, and full waveforms), LFPs (at 1250 Hz), positions (coordinates of head-mounted LEDs), and experiment descriptions. They are provided in the standard, open NeuroSuite format (L. Hazan, http://neurosuite.sourceforge.net, see Hazan et al., 2006). Data analyses described in Drieu et al. (2018) used our free (GPL-licensed) Freely Moving Animal Toolbox (FMAToolbox, M. Zugaro, http://fmatoolbox.sourceforge.net) and custom scripts provided in the archive.
Format of the data
The open data format is described in Hazan et al. (2006) and on our NeuroSuite website (L. Hazan, http://neurosuite.sourceforge.net). Data can be readily loaded in Matlab using our free (GPL-licensed) Freely Moving Animal Toolbox (FMAToolbox, M. Zugaro, http://fmatoolbox.sourceforge.net), which also includes extensive documentation.. Total data size is about 44 GB.
