Basal Ganglia Neurons in Healthy and Parkinsonian Primates Generate Recurring Sequences of Spikes

These data are the source data for the manuscript entitled "Basal Ganglia Neurons in Healthy
and Parkinsonian Primates Generate Recurring Sequences of Spikes", authored by Adriana Galvan
and Thomas Wichmann (Emory University, Atlanta, GA).  

The data are interspike interval measurements generated from electrophysiological recordings
of spontaneous spiking activities of single neurons in the basal ganglia of awake monkeys, before
and after rendering them parkinsonian by treatment with MPTP. THe animals were not engaged in any
task or other structured activity.

The data format is a one-column listing of successive interspike intervals, and are presented in
milliseconds. The data are structured into different folders:

GPe normal - data collected in the external pallidal segment, under normal conditions
GPe MPTP - data collected in the external pallidal segment, under parkinsonian conditions
STN normal - data collected in the subthalamic nucleus, under normal conditions
STN MPTP - data collected in the subthalamic nucleus, under parkinsonian conditions
GPi normal - data collected in the internal pallidal segment, under normal conditions
GPi MPTP - data collected in the internal pallidal segment, under parkinsonian conditions
