If accurate enough for your needs, you can implement the trapezoid rule for AUCs in a fews lines:

// subtract baseline from all subjects
bysort rat_id (day): gen r_minusbase = rotation[_n] - rotation[1]
// make baseline 0 if negative
replace r_minusbase = 0 if r_minusbase < 0
// calculate AUC
sort rat_id day
generate area=(r_minusbase+r_minusbase[_n+1])*(day[_n+1]-day)/2 if rat_id==rat_id[_n+1]

I got this last line from a similar line of Bill Dupont's.
