A Protocol for Isolating Neural Activity of Neurons and Analyzing Their Behavior in a Pattern Separation Task

Moradi Salavat, Faraz 06 October 2023 (has links)
Understanding how the human brain works can lead to new discoveries and improved treatments for brain related diseases and disabilities such as Alzheimer's and autism. One method for studying brain activity is through electrophysiological recordings, particularly through the use of in vivo recording techniques. While these techniques have advanced significantly over the years, data analysis tools have not kept pace, making it difficult to isolate the activity of individual neurons from the recordings. In this thesis, we propose a unified protocol for isolating the spike activity of a neuron from an electrophysiology recording. Additionally, we conducted customized spike train analysis on the recorded cells in a pattern separation task. Preliminary results suggest that changes in the neural activity of mossy cells was not significant. However, for granule cells and interneurons, responses to punishment and reward were observed.
