Title: Recordings from three subregions of macaque prefrontal cortex during an information search and choice task
Abstract: This dataset contains single unit recordings made from several different subregions of prefrontal
cortex in 2 macaque monkeys (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; orbitofrontal cortex; anterior cingulate
cortex) performing an information search and decision-making task. Some of the neurons are simultaneously
recorded across the different areas (during a typical recording session 8-24 electrodes were lowered
simultaneously, see supplementary Table S1 in Hunt/Malalasekera et al., 2018). In the paper, we stack
condition-averaged responses across the population to create pseudopopuluations, which reveal the distinct
contributions of each PFC subregion to information search and reward-guided choice.
Results from the experiments are described in:
