摘要：Establishing the cortical neural representation of visual stimuli is a central challenge of systems neuroscience . Publicly available data would allow a broad range of scientifc analyses and hypothesis testing, but are rare and largely focused on the early visual system . To address the shortage of open data from higher visual areas, we provide a comprehensive dataset from a neurophysiology study in macaque monkey visual cortex that includes a complete record of extracellular action potential recordings from the extrastriate medial superior temporal (MST) area, behavioral data, and detailed stimulus records . It includes spiking activity of 172 single neurons recorded in 139 sessions from 4 hemispheres of 3 rhesus macaque monkeys . The data was collected across 3 experiments, designed to characterize the response properties of MST neurons to complex motion stimuli . This data can be used to elucidate visual information processing at the level of single neurons in a high-level area of primate visual cortex . Providing open access to this dataset also promotes the 3R-principle of responsible animal research.
