Telescopic shading and soundproof animal behavioral experiment box

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of animal experiment devices, in particular to a telescopic shading and sound insulation animal behavioral experiment box which comprises a frame and a plurality of sealing plates, the frame is formed by splicing a plurality of rod pieces, the length of the rod pieces can be adjusted, and the frame is provided with a top opening, a bottom opening and a plurality of side openings; the top opening, the bottom opening and the side openings are sealed and covered with the sealing plates correspondingly, the size of the sealing plates can be adjusted along with adjustment of the length of the rod pieces, and the sealing plates can shield light and insulate sound. According to the animal behavior experiment closed box, the length of the rod piece is set to be adjustable, and the size of the sealing plate is set to be adjustable along with the length of the rod piece, so that the size of the animal behavior experiment closed box can be adjusted, the requirements of different behavioral paradigms can be met, and the universality and convenience of the animal behavior experiment box body are improved; in addition, all the sealing plates are arranged to be capable of shading and insulating sound, and the influence of external environment changes on experiment results in the experiment process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal experiment devices, in particular to a telescopic light-shielding and sound-insulating animal behavior experiment box. Background technique [0002] Experimental animal ethology is a branch of biology, which provides experimental evidence for exploring the neurobiological mechanism behind the behavior by recording and analyzing the behavior of experimental animals in a specific environment. It is widely used in research fields such as life science, medicine, pharmacy and military science, especially in neuroscience. Behavior is affected by both the internal state of the organism and the environment. The internal state of the organism (such as gene expression, various physiological indicators, etc.) and changes in the external environment (such as changes in the strength of smell, sound, light, etc.) type and behavioral patterns. Therefore, a reliable and applicable ethological device is of great ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004]First of all, in the process of the above-mentioned several kinds of rodent behavior experiments, it was found that these kinds of experimental procedures and operating spaces are different, but all The environmental influences that need to be avoided are almost exactly the same. Changes in the external environment (stimuli such as sound and light) will have a certain impact on the behavior of animals. However, these environmental factors are not avoided in the existing experimental paradigm, which causes There will be some errors in the experimental results

Secondly, from the analysis of the experimental process, the conduct of rodent behavioral experiments requires the experimenter to place the animals in the experimental environment in advance to adapt to the environment, but when carrying out different behavioral experiments, the animals need to adapt to different experimental operating environments. This process of animal adaptation to the environment is time-consuming and labor-intensive for the experimenter

Finally, in order to avoid the influence of environmental factors on the experiment, some researchers now also consider using materials such as black curtains or shading boards to avoid the influence of external environmental light stimulation, but this method is not universal and cannot achieve the effect of sound insulation
