Simultaneous extracellular recordings from hippocampal area CA1 and dorsal medial prefrontal cortex from rats performing a foraging task.

This data set contains recordings from hippocampus regions CA1 and dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) from rats performing a foraging task. The data was used to determine relationships between activity in hippocampus and PFC neurons and learning and decision making. The main behavior performed by the animal during the experiments was an alternate choice task in a foraging context. The data was used to produce results described in the following paper: Jai Y.
