If you've read this far, as a bonus, here is a link to another terrific recent paper from @oliviaortelli.bsky.social in which she modified the sipper model to study ethanol/sucrose choice behavior in male and female rats: 10.1016/j.addicn.2025.100196

In this paper, she provides an informative review of the important contributions of the sipper model to alcohol research and illustrates the utility of Medparser, showing how it can be used to analyze lick microstructure metrics that can accurately distinguish between ethanol and sucrose drinking.

... and her impressive coding skills to develop a powerful software program, Medparser, that standardizes and greatly facilitates the analysis of high-resolution operant datasets, like those generated by the sipper model (translation easy enough for old timers like me to use).
