Extracellular recordings from anterior lateral motor cortex (ALM) and cerebellar nucleus neurons of adult mice performing a tactile decision behavior.

These experiments measure neuronal responses from anterior lateral motor cortex (ALM) and deep cerebellar nucleus (CN) of adult mice performing pole location discrimination with a short-term memory. In some cases, we manipulate activity of one brain region while recording from the other region. The data included are: 34 sessions (9 mice), ALM recording during fastigial or dentate photoactivation; and 20 sessions (4 mice), ALM recording during DCN photoinhibition. The data were used in the following publication: Gao Z, Davis C, Thomas AM, Economo MN, Abrego AM, Svoboda K, De Zeeuw CI, Li N (2018). A cortico-cerebellar loop for motor planning. Nature, in press.
