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 Jamovi. One folder named Position Data contains all xyt coordinates from all trials of each individual animal in each individual folder. We have included the Python scripts used to produce all the above, as .IPYNB files.

Methods
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.
