Extracellular recordings and juxtacellular labelling with glass electrodes in the mouse medial septum and hippocampus

This repository contains MAT files consisting of simultaneously recorded mouse medial septal and hippocampal local field potentials (20 kHz sampling rates) and spikes from single medial septal cells. Data were recorded with glass electrodes during spontaneous movement and rest periods, followed by juxtacellular labelling of the medial septal cell. Text files of the spike times and detected hippocampal CA1 theta (5-12 Hz) oscillation trough times are associated with each MAT file.

The files are organised by cell (neuron) name. For further details, see the CSV file included with the dataset. These recorded and labelled single cells were originally reported in Joshi et al 2017, Viney et al 2018, and Salib et al 2019.

Each MAT file contains the following channels, exported from the original Spike2 (smr) recording files:

(1) Details of the recording

(2) Detected spikes (in seconds) from the single medial septal cell

(3) Movement detection (eg. accelerometer or rotary encoder)

(4) Local field potential (medial septum), in mV

(5) Local field potential (hippocampal CA1), in mV; see CSV file for precise location (e.g. within stratum pyramidale)
