About hc-20
Summary
The data are extracellular single unit action potential, spike trains recorded from the medial entorhinal cortex region of freely-behaving rats. The recordings were made using tetrodes and the Axona dacqUSB recording system, while the rats performed place avoidance tasks in two conditions. One with the arena stable the other with the arena rotating continuously. Results from these data are reported in:
Park, E.H., Keeley, S., Savin, C., Ranck Jr., J.B., Fenton, A.A. (2018) How the internally-organized direction sense is used to navigate, Neuron, XX:XX-XX
Spike sorting was performed manually and single unit isolation quality was quantified using the IsoIBG and IsoINN measures as described in:
