Animal behavioral monitor for schedule-induced polydipsia experimental model

A system that will record and analyze a rat's drinking, bar pressing, locomotion and stereotyped behavior is reported. This system uses the experimental paradigm of Schedule-Induced Polydipsia (SIP) that will record and compare the rat's behavior before and after the effect of pharmacology intervention. The system provides an opportunity for research to observe and to analyze rat's SIP events and its locomotion simultaneously.
