Sensory, perirhinal and hippocampal tetrode recordings during visual, tactile and visuotactile discrimination task in the freely moving rat (v1)

We recorded single-unit spiking activity from three different neocortical areas and the hippocampal CA1 regions simultaneously, in rats performing a cross-modal memory recall task: Animals learned to recognize two distinct objects in tactile, visual, and visuo-tactile domain. The aim of the acquired data is to gain insights into cortico-hippocampal interactions involved in fundamental memory recall mechanisms.
