Despite the relevance of SWRs, no standardized criterion for their automatic detection has been established. This work introduces a consensus-based algorithm that first identifies sharp waves and then detects ripples occurring within these intervals. Events are designated as true SWRs only when at least two principal methodologies report overlapping detections. Comparative analyses showed that one detector generated more candidate events but with reduced precision, whereas the other was more selective but computationally slower. The consensus strategy improved reliability by emphasizing the concurrence of independent detectors, contributing to efforts toward standardized and reproducible SWR analysis. The algorithm was used within an alcohol administration model to quantify SWR rate, duration, and peak frequency across control, vehicle, and treated groups. Although no significant group-level differences emerged under the short-term exposure protocol, a significant increase in SWR peak frequency was observed in the treated group after the open field test, suggesting the presence of a transient compensation mechanism. These findings shed light on the brain's ability to adapt temporarily to specific behavioral tasks. However, it is essential to emphasize that additional research is crucial to fully understand the long-term implications and associations with alcohol-induced changes in brain structures and SWR generation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnsys.2026.1822457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]],"date-time":"2026-07-07T05:46:21Z","timestamp":1783403181000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Consensus-based Sharp-Wave Ripple detection and its application in an alcohol administration model"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Marina","family":"Ruelas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Sciences, Tecnologico de Monterrey","place":["Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rita Q.","family":"Fuentes-Aguilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing, Tecnologico de Monterrey","place":["Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Medina-Ceja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Neurophysiology, Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Centro Universitario de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas y Agropecuarias (CUCBA), University of Guadalajara","place":["Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Morales-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Advanced Materials for Sustainable Manufacturing, Tecnologico de Monterrey","place":["Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1223","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2017.10.032","article-title":"Alcohol and the brain: neuronal molecular targets, synapses, and circuits","volume":"96","author":"Abrahao","year":"2017","journal-title":"Neuron"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111782","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isci.2025.111782","article-title":"Differential contributions of ca3 and entorhinal cortex inputs to ripple patterns in the hippocampus","volume":"28","author":"Aleman-Zapata","year":"2025","journal-title":"iScience"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e13532","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.13532","article-title":"Disrupting ripples: methods, results, and caveats in closed-loop approaches in rodents","volume":"31","author":"Aleman-Zapata","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
