It contains in vivo single unit data recorded with electrode bundles in nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum as well as the corresponding behavioral data from rats performing a task in which they acquire sucrose and maltodextrin rewards. It also contains the code to analyze the data and produce the figures from our paper.' keywords: - Neuroscience - Electrophysiology - 'Basal ganglia' - 'Ventral pallidum' - 'Nucleus accumbens' - 'Reward processing' license: name: 'Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Public Domain Dedication' url: 'https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/' funding: - 'NIH, 5 T32 NS91018-17' - 'NIH, K99 AA025384' - 'NIH, R01 DA035943' - 'NARSAD, Young Investigator Award' - 'NSF, DGE-1746891' references: - reftype: IsPartOf name: 'http://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-06849-z' dtype: Dataset
