Datasets from "Najafi, Farzaneh and Elsayed, Gamaleldin F and Pnevmatikakis, Eftychios and Cunningham, John P and Churchland, Anne K (2018) Inhibitory and excitatory populations in parietal cortex are equally selective for decision outcome in both novices and experts

Abstract

This package contains data from the 4 mice included in "Najafi, Farzaneh and Elsayed, Gamaleldin F and Pnevmatikakis, Eftychios and Cunningham, John P and Churchland, Anne K (2018) Inhibitory and excitatory populations in parietal cortex are equally selective for decision outcome in both novices and experts." Each folder in "FN_dataSharing" belongs to a mouse discussed in the paper. Inside each "mouse" folder, there are folders for each session of experiment (imaging during decision making). Inside each "session" folder, two .mat files exist: 1) "post_*" file includes variables such as the activity of each neuron aligned on the choice ("firstSideTryAl"), trial outcomes ("outcomes"), stimulus rates ("stimrate"), animal's response side ("allResp_HR_LR"), etc. 2) "more_*" file includes variables such as which neurons are inhibitory ("inhibitRois_pix"), and what neurons have poor quality, hence excluded from analyses ("badROIs01"), etc
