Behavioral features during alcohol consumption in control, Long Evans and its triple-hit schizophrenia model rats (Lisket)

This dataset contains quantitative behavioral data from an in vivo study comparing healthy control subjects (Long Evans rats) with a triple-hit schizophrenia animal model (Lisket). The data captures the baseline behavioral differences between the two groups, as well as the specific alterations induced by alcohol consumption over a multi-day testing period. Contents of the Dataset (Alcohol_Behavior_LE_vs_Lisket_Data.xlsx) The provided spreadsheet organizes behavioral metrics across five distinct sheets, separated by the day of the experiment (Day 0 baseline, Days 2-3, and Days 4-6) and the tracking methodology used: Sensor-Based Tracking Data: Sheets containing automated sensor measurements capture broad behavioral categories. Key variables include total locomotion, exploratory behavior, latencies, and time spent engaged in specific activities like eating or drinking. Video-Based Tracking Data: Sheets containing video analysis provide highly detailed kinetic and spatial metrics. These include total distance traveled, movement velocity, exact durations of active versus inactive states, directional changes, and spatial preferences (such as time spent in corners). Experimental Variables: Across all sheets, individual subjects are categorized by their genetic/model group (Long Evans vs. Lisket) and their treatment condition (Alcohol vs. No Alcohol control).
