Mouse path exercising model and intelligent action inspecting system

Abstract

A mouse's path training model and its intelligent behavior detection system are disclosed. A circular dark box type labyrinth is used as the behavior data acquiring unit. The mouse to be tested passes through a tubular channel with adjustable one-way gates along a pointed path and closed loop for performing the cyclic training. The signals about the active movement and passive movement caused by electric shock are acquired and processed by the data processing control unit. Said signals are transmitted via PCI bus to the Access database in control system, and then processed by the statistical software package, so controlling and monitoring the behavior of mouse at any time.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a model and a detection system for studying and establishing an animal learning and memory behavior training method, in particular to a mouse path training model and an intelligent behavior detection system. It can be applied to the fields of neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and psychology. Background technique [0002] At present, animal behavior experiments are an indispensable and important method for studying advanced brain functions and other neurosciences, especially in neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and other behavioral medicine research. The labyrinth experiment is a classic project of behavioral experiments. It is one of the most commonly used experiments to study the learning and memory function of rats (or mice). It is also a commonly used animal model for cognitive drug screening. There are many types of maze devices, but they all consist of three basic components: training area-animal placement; target area-safety...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The experimental results show that the labyrinth shape of the device has defects such as the need to send the mice from the isolation area back to the training area through the conveyor belt, the structure of the passage door is single, and cannot be adjusted according to the experimental requirements, and it still cannot meet the needs of the natural living habits of the mice.

[0007] According to the actual needs of establishing a model of animal learning and memory behavior training methods, the existing models have obvious limitations: that is, there are many human factors, technical operations are cumbersome, and the accuracy is poor; The spatial structure of partitions and holes (channels) cannot adapt to the natural life habits of rats, and the application is limited (for example, only suitable for rats); the existing data processing and control unit is relatively simple, and the experimental data needs to be converted into the Foxpro database when processing the test results files are available; and the combined influence of the absence of electrical, sound (noise) and light conditioned stimuli
