Position and time coordinates, performance, and latencies of delayed non-match to place trials performed by rats with silenced hippocampal inputs to RSC

This dataset contains processed behavioral data obtained from Long-Evans rats whose hippocampal axon terminals in RSC were infected with a viral vector containing a transgene expressing either eArchT or only a fluorescent tag (\"empty vector\" CTRL), while animals perform a standard delayed non-match to place task, in which light was delivered via fiberoptic to such HIPP terminals at randomized individual trials. We then use extracted xyt position data to collect behavioral metrics and compare such metrics (performance levels, time delays) between these animals and CTRL animals under baseline, no-light, and light delivery conditions, as well as latencies at several points of individual trials. We also extracted specific trials according to specific conditions explained in the original eLife publication, and below. Files are either Excel spreadsheets with all the properties of each individual trial, or .omv files containing the same data as needed to perform statistical analysis in Ja..., Data was collected from video recordings using Bonsai software (bonsai-rx.org). Error/correct was extracted directly, and XYT coordinates were used to determine individual trial latencies. Please refer to the original publication for detailed methods., , This dataset includes and the data, code and analyses used in the Manuscript: ***\"Optogenetic silencing hippocampal inputs to the retrosplenial cortex causes a prolonged disruption of working memory\"*** by Barbara Pinto-Correia, Patrícia Caldeira and Miguel Remondes (corresponding author).

This includes behavioral data (position and time coordinates, performance, latencies) of delayed non-match to place trials performed by rats in which hippocampal inputs to RSC have been silenced, as well as the appropriate control conditions and animals.

In the folder \"01-Position Data\" there are individual folders from individual eArch and CTRL (empty vector) rats, named as such. In each of these folders we make available the pre-processed .csv files with xyt positions corresponding to individual trajectories and its specifications, and .csv files with ROI coordinates used for further analyses.

Finally, in most fol...,
