About hc-24

Summary

These data set was used in Varela & Wilson, 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1101/653436) to demonstrate and characterize the correlations between single cell activity in nuclei of the midline thalamus with the hallmark oscillations of non-REM sleep recorded simultaneously in the medial prefrontal cortex and the CA1 region of the hippocampus (slow oscillation, spindles, sharp-wave ripples) in behaving rats. The data set consists of recordings from three sessions, with LFPs and units from 3 different rats for a total of approximately 3.5 h of recording (52mins, session 1; 69mins session 2; 93mins session 3). During the recording the animals were allowed to rest in a quiet enclosure and cycled through bouts of wakefulness and sleep. Methods used to gather and process the data, and results from these experiments are described in:
