Project_09 Q29 StudyTitle Probing the environmental modulation of sensitization and compulsive checking: influence of a small ledge around OF

This study (Q29) is one of a series of studies performed in the Szechtman lab at McMaster University and deposited in the FRDR public repository as a collection under the name "A Digital Library of Behavioural Performance in Standardized Conditions - Szechtman Lab Collection". This collection as a whole constitutes a big dataset containing raw data objects of video, track, and path plot records of rats exploring for 55 minutes a large testing environment in a standardized paradigm during chronic treatment with psychostimulant drugs; for details of this big dataset see, https://www.frdr-dfdr.ca/repo/collection/szechtmanlab. The historical context for study Q29 was Project_09 entitled: "Probing the environmental modulation of sensitization and compulsive checking". Title of the experiment in Q29 was "Effect of a small ledge on open field on the development of sensitization and compulsive checking". Study Q29 was also part of a second project, Project_02 entitled: "Probing the neurochemistry of sensitization and compulsive checking", where title of the experiment was "Effect of CP809101 (5HT2C agonist) on the expression of sensitization and compulsive checking in an open field bordered by a low ledge". Note that Q29 dataset does not have the raw data object, path plot of routes of locomotion.
