Records of voluntary alcohol consumption and electrophysiological brain slice data for 64 rats were collected by Heidi Lesscher to study corticostriatal plasticity. The data, updated in March 2026, categorizes subjects into high and low consumption subgroups across two experimental batches.
Use Cases
- Correlating voluntary alcohol intake levels with corticostriatal plasticity markers
- Comparing electrophysiological signal differences between high and low alcohol-consuming rats
- Modeling glutamatergic transmission changes resulting from long-term alcohol exposure
Strengths
- Includes 64 individual rat subjects across two experimental batches
- Provides specific labels for high versus low alcohol consumption subgroups
- Combines behavioral intake data with patch-clamp electrophysiology and optogenetics
Limitations
- Small sample size of 64 rats limits statistical power for complex modeling
- Source metadata does not define specific column headers or units of measurement
