This dataset comes from a novel neuroscience research to understand the dynamics between motor cortex activation and its involvement in skilled movements. It contains firing rates for 25 neurons coming from the motor cortex of a mouse while reaching for a food pellet. These are neuron-specific averages across 147 experimental trials.

Usage

firing_rates_data

Format

A data frame with 25 rows and two columns including:

neuron_no

Integer, Neuron ID

activation

A tidyfun tfd object containing firing rates for each neuron across 174 timepoints, in spikes / ms
