Behavioral model and data from rapid dynamics of dorsal raphe serotonin neurons regulate the strength of visual attention

This dataset accompanies the GitHub repository containing MATLAB code for the behavioral model presented in Lehnert et al., “Rapid dynamics of dorsal raphe serotonin neurons regulate the strength of visual attention.” It includes a subset of behavioral data from a mouse performing the visual attention task described in the manuscript. The file trials.mat provides trial‑level information, including checkerboard stimuli and associated feature energies, lick response times, grating onset times and coherences, and behavioral outcomes. Data are organized by trial, enabling direct use with the accompanying GitHub MATLAB scripts to compute attention strength and compute sensitivity maps. , , # Behavioral model and data from rapid dynamics of dorsal raphe serotonin neurons regulate the strength of visual attention Dataset DOI: [10.5061/dryad.5qfttdzms](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.5qfttdzms) ## Description of the data and file structure Behavioral data acquired during a cued visual detection task described in Lehnert et al., 2023 Curr. Biol and Lehnert et al., 2024 Biorxiv ## Files and variables ### trials.mat **Description:** contains a structure called trials with several fields (see below) #### Field descriptions session ``` Scalar The session index this trial belongs to. ``` gratingContrast ``` Scalar Stimulus contrast level used in this trial. ``` behavioralOutcome ``` Char or string Behavioral outcome label for the trial (e.g. 'hit', 'miss', 'falseAlarm'). Only hits are rewarded ``` cueSide ``` Char Side of the cue ('L' or 'R'), determines on which screen grating will appear. ``` stimulusRightTime ``` Numeric vector (s) Raw timestamps (relative to ses..., ,
