This dataset contains Local Field Potential (LFP) recordings from twenty-six mice which each went through a battery of behavioral tasks. First, each of the mice were in homecage. Then, they were placed in the Open Field Test for five minutes. Finally, they underwent the Tail Suspension Test for ten minutes. 

The data was originally recorded and reported in:
Carlson, David, et al. "Dynamically timed stimulation of corticolimbic circuitry activates a stress-compensatory pathway." Biological psychiatry 82.12 (2017): 904-913.
The data was used in methods manuscripts:
Gallagher, Neil, et al. "Cross-spectral factor analysis." Advances in neural information processing systems 30 (2017).

The raw LFP recordings of each session are saved as Matlab (.mat) files contained in the 'RawLFPData' subdirectory. Within each file, LFPs are saved per channel, and the channel naming scheme can be found _____. The LFP files are named with the following convention: MouseName_experimentDate_HCOFTS_LFP.mat. Each LFP file has a corresponding TIME file, located in BehavioralTimes. These files are also .mat files, and have the same naming convention, except 'LFP' is replaced with 'TIME'. Within each time file, there is an array of four numbers. They are, in seconds, the start time of the OFT session, how long the OFT session lasts, the start time of the TST session, and how long the TST session lasts.

TST_Extracted_Features.p contains power and coherence features extracted from five second windows of preprocessed LFPs (see Talbot et al. 2020). These can be accessed from the keys 'power' and 'coherence'. The 'features' key gives a list of the feature names. There are also the 'task', 'genotype', and 'mouse' keys, which give what behavioral condition the mouse was in, what genotype the mouse was, and which mouse was being recorded from for each feature window. Within the 'task' key, the '0' corresponds to TST, the '1' corresponds to OFT, and the '2' corresponds to Homecage. The 'mice' key is a list of the names of the mice, as the 'mouse' key refers to the mice by an index.
