About alm-4

Summary of the data

These experiments measure neuronal responses from anterior lateral motor cortex (ALM) and deep cerebellar nucleus (CN) of adult mice performing pole location discrimination with a short-term memory. In some cases, we manipulate activity of one brain region while recording from the other region. The data included are:

• 34 sessions (9 mice), ALM recording during fastigial or dentate photoactivation
• 20 sessions (4 mice), ALM recording during DCN photoinhibition

The data were used in the following publication:

Format of the data

The data are stored in Matlab files. Demo scripts which use the data are included. Details are in the document linked-to at the bottom of this page. Total size of the data is about 13 GB.
