Abstract
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
