About pfc-6

Summary.

This dataset contains neuronal ensemble recordings from the medial prefrontal cortex (mostly prelimbic cortex) of freely moving rats, using tetrodes. Data were collected while the animals learned a behavioral contingency task, as well as during sleep before and after the task.  Results from the experiments are described in:
