Data from: A multi-region recurrent circuit for evidence accumulation in rats

Description of the dataAll data are stored in MATLAB (.mat) files. There are 12 files in total, each corresponding to a recording session from a rat performing an auditory decision-making task. Each file is named as “subjectID_YYYY_MM_DD_*.mat,” based on the subject ID and the recording date.
Each file contains spike times for all recorded units along with information about trial events.
Key fields include:
AP, ML, DV: Anterior-posterior (AP), medial-lateral (ML), and dorsal-ventral (DV) distance of each unit relative to the bregma skull landmarkbank: The recording electrodes of Neuropixels 1.0 probes are organized into different banks, and this indicates the bank of each unit.penetration: A struct containing neuropixels targeting information and regions targeted.DMS : anterior dorsal striatumFOF, M2 : frontal orienting fieldsNAc : Nucleus accumbensVS : ventral striatumregions: brain region of each unit, as an index of penetrations.regionshemisphere: hemisphere of each unitclusterNotes: notes added during manual curation of spike sorted clustersdistance_from_tip : distance of each unit from the tip of the Neuropixels 1.0 probe, in cmselectrode: Neuropixels 1.0 recording site of each unitrat: name of the rat subjectraw_spike_time_s : cell array containing the spike times of each unitrecorded: cell array indicating whether usable spiking data could be recorded for each unit on each trial (i.e., the signal was not obscured by artifacts)sessid : identification of the session in the BControl behavioral control platformMetrics of cluster isolation quality:
unitCount: total number of spikesunitISIRatio: The ratio of the number of interspike intervals (ISI) less than 2ms to the number of interspike interval less than 20msunitIsoDist : Isolation distance: This is another quality metric of spikesorted clusters described in Neymotion et al., 2011 J. Neurosci (PMID: 22072690)unitLRatio : L-ratiounitVppRaw: Peak-to-peak voltage (uV) of the mean raw waveform at the recording electrode with the largest amplitudewaveform : mean raw waveform at the peak recording site. This has the format of number-of-units by number-of-samples.meanWfGlobalRaw : mean raw waveform across all recording sitesfrac_isi_violation: Fraction of spikes for which ISI violations were recorded for each unit.Trials: this is a MATLAB structure with information about the task and behavior on each of N trials. Key fields include:rat : name of the rat subjectsess_date : session datesessid : session ID in the BControl systemviolated : whether the rat prematurely ended nose fixationis_probe_trial : whether the duration of the click train stimulus is fixed at 1s rather than randomly sampled from a uniform distribution.is_hit : a boolean vector of length N stating whether reward was delivered on each trial.sides : the left or right side port where the reward was baitedgamma : a vector of length N stating what the signal level was on each trial (the log of the ratio of right / left click generative rates)trial_type : a character vector of length N indicating the type of trial ("a" = accumulation, "f" = free choice, "s" = side LED)reward_loc : left or right side port where the reward was baitedpokedR : a boolean vector of length N indicating the animal's choice on each trialstim_dur_s_theoretical : a vector of length N stating the stimulus durations of each trial including temporal delay before the first click is sampled.leftBups,rightBups : a cell array of length N listing the times (in seconds relative to stimulus onset, i.e., stateTimes.clicks_on) of the left and right clicks on each trialclick_diff : the difference between the total number of right and left clicksstim_dur_s_actual : duration (in seconds) of the click train stimulusclick_diff_hz : the difference between the total number right and left clicks, divided by the duration of the click train stimulusstateTimes : a structure with fields of length N for each task event, giving the times according to the BControl clock, when they occurred on each trial.sending_trialnum: beginning of the in which the trial number (encoded as an eight bit number) is emitted through the digital outputwait_for_cpoke: beginning of the a state that waits for the animal to poke into the center portcpoke_in: beginning of the state in which the animal inserts its nose into the center poke.cpoke_req_end: end of the required time when the animal must insert its nose into the center pokebreak: beginning of the violation state, which corresponds to the animal removing its nose from the center port before the minimum required time is upclicks_on: beginning of the sound waveclicks_off: end of the sound wavewait_for_spoke: beginning of the state waiting for the animal to poke either the left or right portfeedback: beginning of either a reward or error stateerror: beginning of an error stateleft_reward: beginning of a reward state occurring at the left portright_reward: beginning of a reward state occurring at the right portspoke: beginning of the state when the animal pokes left or rightcpoke_out: inferred time when the animal removes its nose from the center port and begins its movement toward a side portcleaned_up: beginning of the final state in each trial during which waves are turned offlaser_on : onset time of the photostimuluslaser_off : offset time of the photostimuluslaser_pulses : timestamps of individual pulses within the photostimulusCode/softwarehttps://github.com/Brody-Lab/fof_ads_interactions
