Data acquisition. (A) An example of the open-field recordings. (B) Schematic illustration of the positioning of electrodes relative to the bregma (modified from Halje et al., 2012). Coronal plane indicating vertical positions for the cortex (the left panel) and the striatum (the right panel) together with AP positions. Electrodes were implanted bilaterally. (C) The electrodes were arranged over four structures: the left primary motor cortex, the right primary motor cortex, the left sensorimotor striatum and the right sensorimotor striatum. Each array consisted of 16 recording channels, two reference channels (marked in red) and one stimulation channel (marked in green and not used in this study). (D) Extracted LFPs from the intact and lesioned hemisphere that represent one epoch for a duration of 2 s.
