Postsubicular head direction cell recordings following dLGN lesions (rats)
These files contain the (1) MATLAB code, and (2) raw and processed files pertaining to the publication by Street and Jeffery, " ".
(1): The MATLAB code uploaded here is carbon copied in the state it was when these analyses were run on our local analysis machine(s). A list of function descriptions and use can be found in \Code\Function descriptions.txt. Up-to-date and more curated code will be made available on https://github.com/bejamz.
(2): Data files are organised as follows:
Data from animal is organised into a distinct folder named after the animal (e.g. \R777\). In each animal folder, a metadata xls sheet exists (e.g. R777_MetaData.xlsx) containing filepaths and cell IDs for each recorded single unit, alongside pertinent trial information for that session (e.g. cylinder rotations). Note that filepaths for data files are given as absolute Windows directory paths and will need to be edited to access on other systems. Two summary statistics .mat files exist in the top level directory for each animal: SessionInfo.mat (information about session statistics, movement, etc.) and CellInfo.mat (information about cell statistics, firing rates, DIC, etc.).
Subdirectories in each animal folder are as follows:
\[Animal name]\Screening: These are screening recordings taken from a distinct room when identifying head direction cells, and before experimental recordings began.
\[Animal name]\Experiments\[Date]: These directories contain the raw Axona recording files for experimental sessions (trials 1-8, usually), named for instance as R777_20180404_Tr1.
\[Animal name]\Histology: These contain the raw microscopy images captured for each slice through the dLGN, alongside .txt files containing coordinate traces of the dLGN or the lesion for the left or the right hemisphere.
\[Animal name]\Analysis\[CellID]: This is the analysis of an individual cell. Importantly, CellData.mat contains pertinent information for that individual cell recorded through all sessions, including its spike timestamps, tuning curve, Rayleigh vector lengths, and other general cell and session statistics.
