In a paper that I am interested they are measuring activity of DS (dorsal striatum) fast-spiking interneurons in choice execution.And they do not classify neurons on the basis of during rate or waveform, instead, they categorize them base on the event (learning phase).
"The activity of all recorded neurons (5.89 ± 8.4 Hz) was sorted into 50-ms time bins and temporally aligned to four separate event-related 3-s epochs: after trial initiation, immediately before choice, after choice and after reward retrieval " Brigman et al., 2013. NatNeurosc
Why do they sort the activity of all recorded neurons in a 50-ms time bins?
Why do they choose 5.89 ± 8.4 Hz?
It is a great paper, but i am not electrophysiologist, but I am using it for a research class.
Thank you!
I agree with William M Connelly it seems they are doing some kind of peri stimulus time histograms in three categories. pre-stimulus, peri-stimuls and post-stimulus.
