About alm-7

Summary of the data

These experiments measure neuronal responses from the two hemispheres of premotor cortex (anterior lateral motor cortex, ALM) of adult mice performing pole location discrimination with a short-term memory. We inactivate activity of one hemisphere (left or right) in some trials and both hemispheres in others. Data from 135 recording sessions are included in this release.

This dataset contains data from 39 mice (age > P60). 9 VGAT-ChR2-EYFP mice (Jackson laboratory, JAX Stock#014548) and 30 PV-IRES-Cre (JAX Stock#008069) crossed to Rosa26-LSL-ReaChR, red-shifted channelrhodopsin reporter mice (JAX 24846), were used for simultaneous electrophysiology and photoinhibition. The experiments (including experiment methods) are described in the following publication:
