Check out the clever adaptation of LIQ HD for use with rats! The sipper blockers are particularly useful for intermittent access paradigms. Great work by Shikun and the @glover_lab, loved seeing it in person recently at @RSAposts!
Excited to share LIQ HDR - a home cage capacitive lickometer system for rats - equipped with custom 3D prints to capture lick microstructure in two-bottle choice drinking experiments. Now available on bioRxiv as part of a home cage drinking methods paper. shorturl.at/KZsLu

It's been a while since I've had some time to image on the lightsheet! I decided to pull the 15x objective out to capture this circuit at higher resolution and it did not disappoint. #neurotwitter #Microscopy #sciencetwitter youtube.com/watch?v=rNXBAtiG…

Social isolation, using the original LIQ HD system, amplified fluid intake and ethanol preference in both sexes, accompanied by sex- and fluid-dependent changes in bout microstructure.

We sincerely hope that LIQ PARTI will be a useful tool for labs measuring drinking behavior! We are excited to see the creative ways this system can be applied and expanded upon. Check out our GitHub for more build details. github.com/nickpetersen93/LI…

We used LIQ PARTI to investigate the influence of sex and housing on ethanol consumption in C57Bl/6J mice. Group-housed females exhibited higher ethanol preference than males, while continuous monitoring revealed a unique undulating pattern of ethanol preference in males.

Our new device accurately tracks the drinking behavior of specific mice by integrating capacitive-based sensors with RFID tracking technology, allowing for the identification of an individual’s drinking behavior while mice are group-housed.

Based on our previously developed single-housed LIQ HD system, LIQ PARTI is an Arduino-based, open-source tool designed to examine home cage continuous access two-bottle choice drinking behavior in a group-housed setting. #arduino
