Impact of voluntary alcohol consumption on corticostriatal plasticity in rats

This dataset contains the alcohol consumption data for 64 rats, divided over two batches (40 and 24 rats, respectively), and electrophysiological data of the selected highest and lowest alcohol consuming rats for the rats in each batch. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of long-term voluntary alcohol consumption on glutamatergic corticostriatal transmission and plasticity in subgroups of rats that consumed low versus high amounts of alcohol.
