Data from: Dataset of human medial temporal lobe single neuron activity during declarative memory encoding and recognition

We present a dataset of 1,576 single neurons recorded from the human
amygdala and hippocampus in 65 sessions from 42 patients undergoing
intracranial monitoring for localization of epileptic seizures. Subjects
performed a recognition memory task with pictures as stimuli. Subjects
were asked to identify whether they had seen a particular image the first
time (‘new’) or second time (‘old’) on a 1–6 confidence scale. This
comprehensive dataset includes the spike times of all neurons and their
extracellular waveforms, behavior, electrode locations determined from
post-operative MRI scans, demographics, and the stimuli shown. As
technical validation, we provide spike sorting quality metrics and
assessment of tuning of cells to verify the presence of visually-and
memory selective cells. We also provide analysis code that reproduces key
scientific findings published previously on a smaller version of this
dataset. Together, this large dataset will facilitate the investigation of
the neural mechanism of declarative memory by providing a substantial
number of hard to obtain human single-neuron recordings during a well
characterized behavioral task.
