Device for recording sober mouse breathing movement and habituation and dishabituation process

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for recording sober mouse breathing movement and the habituation and dishabituation process. The device is characterized by comprising a breath recording device for detecting the mouse breath condition and generating corresponding event signals, a movement trajectory monitoring device used for monitoring mouse movement condition and generating corresponding movement signals, an air supplying device for monitoring mouse odor stimulation or habituation and dishabituation training tasks and generating corresponding detection signals, a microcontroller used for receiving event signals, the movement signals and the detection signals and a displayer used for displaying all data, and the displayer is connected with the microcontroller. The whole experiment process is full automatic, a user only needs to turn on the device, put a mouse into the device and connects a connecting line in the experiment, and the other steps are automatically completed by the animal and the device. The device is capable of accurately recording breath and movement trajectory signals in the habituation and dishabituation process to provide beneficial scientific basis for breath in the smell perception process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for recording respiratory movement, habituation and de-habituation of awake mice. Background technique [0002] The olfactory perception process of both humans and animals needs to obtain and update the olfactory information of the outside world through continuous and periodic inhalation, so the breathing process is very important for the perception of olfactory information, which has also led many olfactory researchers to pay attention to the role of breathing in Role in olfactory perception. In recent years, a large number of related studies have involved humans and rats, as well as various types of other animals, especially on smaller animals such as mice, which are relatively difficult to study; while traditional experiments to record animal breathing movements mostly use endotracheal intubation and respiratory tracings method, recorder method (physiological recorder method) and the use of thoracic movement to mea...

Problems solved by technology

In recent years, a large number of related studies have involved humans and rats, as well as various types of other animals, especially on smaller animals such as mice, which are relatively difficult to study; while traditional experiments to record animal breathing movements mostly use endotracheal intubation and respiratory tracings method, recorder method (physiological recorder method) and the use of thoracic movement to measure, etc., although these methods are simple and easy, but they are damaged, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the accuracy is not enough. The role played in the process of habituation and dishabituation remains unclear, and there is no precise and effective method for combining breathing exercises and habituation and dishabituation devices in awake mice
