Behavioral experiment device and method for animal auditory association matching

Abstract

The invention discloses a behavioral experiment device and method for animal auditory association matching. The device comprises a shell, a shading plate, a detecting component, a plurality of turningplates, a sound producing component and a control component and is characterized in that a plurality of partitions are arranged in the shell to separate the space in the shell into multiple cavities,a separation plate is arranged in each cavity to separate the cavity into an experiment cavity and a food cavity, the shell is provided with a plurality of hand stretching openings, each hand stretching opening is communicated with one experiment cavity, a food taking opening is arranged in each separation plate to communicate the corresponding experiment cavity and the corresponding food cavity,the shading plate is slidably arranged on the shell and used for shading the lateral wall, with the hand stretching openings, of the shell, each turning plate correspond to one food taking opening, and the sound producing component is used for providing sound stimulation for an experimental animal. The behavioral experiment device can well quantitatively analyze the association matching relationbetween animal auditory sense and behaviors so as to accurately analyze the function of the temporal lobe in the brain area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal behavior research, in particular to an animal auditory association matching behavioral experimental device and experimental method. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, animals have great similarities with humans in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, immunology and genetics, and are widely used in medical biology (including behavior) testing and research. Behavioral training is the study of clinical characteristics of animals. Animals complete target tasks in training to achieve the purpose of evaluating certain indicators, so as to reveal the nature and laws of life activities, health and diseases. However, because it is a large, intelligent, gregarious, long-lived, non-domesticated and aggressive animal, it is difficult and complicated to configure a reasonable behavioral device. Previous studies on visuospatial cognitive memory focused on testing working mem...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there is no device that can accurately quantify the matching of animal hearing and behavior in the existing technology. Most of the existing devices can only perform qualitative analysis. Such analysis results are not accurate and cannot well reflect the animal's hearing and behavior. Therefore, it is not possible to analyze the function of the temporal lobe in the corresponding brain area of ​​animals very well.
