Classification of extracellurar spike waveforms recorded in macaque monkey cortex

Summary

Identifying different neuronal cell types is key to understanding the complex functions of the primate brain. Extracellurar spike waveforms recorded from the macaque brain can be used to classify single-units into different clusters. Here we use extracellular spiking activity recorded from the hand grasping network (ventral premotor area F5, primary motor cortex M1, anterior intraparietal area AIP) in behaving non-human primates (NHPs)s during a visually-instructed delayed grasping task.
