Dataset | No. of ratsa | No. of cells | No. of STIM | Recorded duration before STIM (s) | STIM duration (s)b | Recorded duration after STIM (s) | HD index (in Open)c | Average firing rate in Open (Hz)c | Peak firing rate in Open (Hz)c |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
STIM-Open | 18 | 81 | 130 | 86.2 (51.4) | 10.0 (14.1) | 63.1 (32.8) | 0.87 (0.25) | 1.3 (1.6) | 4.6 (5.9) |
STIM-Closed | 7 | 25 | 42 | 64.2 (23.0) | 8.2 (11.8) | 60.7 (19.0) | 0.85 (0.31) | 1.7 (1.8) | 6.4 (7.5) |
No-STIM | 6 | 25 | 35 | 50.2 (16.2) | 20.6 (6.1) | 55.6 (19.1) | 0.92 (0.25) | 1.4 (0.9) | 5.2 (9.8) |
aNote that the total number of rats used in the STIM-Open, STIM-Closed, and No-STIM datasets is 26 (see Materials and Methods) because individual rats typically contributed to more than one dataset. For detailed information, see Table 1-1.
bTime that animals spent facing the stimulus direction during juxtacellular stimulation (calculated as the time between offset and onset of passive rotation; see Materials and Methods).
cBasic properties of the HD cells (HD index, average firing rates, and peak firing rates), assessed in the Open configuration, were not significantly different between the three datasets (STIM-Open, STIM-Closed, and No-STIM; all p values larger than 0.165; Wilcoxon rank-sum test with Bonferroni correction).
Data are shown as median and IQR (in parentheses).
