Morphological reconstructions and electrophysiological data from mouse hippocampal neurons

Understanding cortical circuits requires the characterization of their constituent neurons. Using whole-cell recordings in acute hippocampal slices, followed by confocal imaging and 3D reconstruction, a database of the morphological and physiological properties of hippocampal neurons in the adult mouse has been constructed. The database currently contains approximately 200 morphological reconstructions and 500 recordings from partially overlapping cell populations.
