Embodiment 1

[0034] Such as figure 2 Shown is the structure diagram of the Drosophila behavior research system of this embodiment. The fruit fly activity container of this embodiment includes two fruit fly activity chambers 100, the stimulation device includes a light stimulation device 210 and a temperature stimulation device 220, the image acquisition device is a camera 300, and the central device is a computer 400. The light stimulation device 210 and the camera 300 are arranged above the fruit fly activity room 100 , and the temperature stimulation device 220 is arranged at the bottom of the fruit fly activity room 100 . Both the photostimulation device 210 and the video camera 300 are connected to the computer 400 .

[0035]The number of fruit fly activity rooms 100 is not limited to two, and there can be more than two, so that various experiments can be carried out at the same time. Multiple fruit fly activity rooms 100 are separated by interlayers 140 made of opaque materials. Fr...

Embodiment 2

[0095] In the above embodiments, the device for providing optical stimulation is a laser generator, and the computer 400 is connected to the waveform generator 213 through a data line to control the parameters of the laser.

[0096] Other devices can also be used to provide light stimulation, such as the LED light source in this embodiment.

[0097] Such as Figure 4 Shown is a schematic diagram of the Drosophila behavior research system of this embodiment. Thin silver plates 231 are symmetrically arranged in the side wall 120 of the fruit fly activity room 100, and the number is 4, 8 or more. White LEDs 232 , blue LEDs 233 and yellow LEDs 234 are periodically arranged on each silver plate 231 in sequence. The quantity of each kind of LED can be adjusted, for example, the quantities of white LED232, blue LED233 and yellow LED234 are 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The light intensity of the LED should be large enough, preferably more than 80lm (lumen). All LEDs are connected with...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fruit fly behavior researching system, belonging to the animal behavior field. The system comprises a fruit fly moving container, an image acquiring device, a stimulating device and a center device; the fruit fly moving container is used for supplying a moving space to the fruit fly with the specific protein; the image acquiring device is used for acquiring the fruit fly behavior image; the stimulating device is used for applying the external stimulation to the fruit fly; and the center device is connected with the image acquiring device and the stimulating device, used for controlling the image acquiring device and the stimulating device, recording the fruit fly behavior image and analyzing the fruit fly behavior. In addition, the invention also relates to a fruit fly behavior researching method. The method comprises the following steps of: applying the external stimulation to the fruit fly with the specific protein; acquiring the fruit fly moving image; and analyzing the fruit fly behavior according to the fruit fly moving image. In the system, the stimulation to the fruit fly, the behavior recording and analysis in the fruit fly behavior research are automatically carried out, so that the deviation brought by the experience or fatigue factors of the artificial observation and statistic can be eliminated. The system carries out the stimulation to the fruit fly with the specific points particularly, and improves the precision and efficiency of the analysis on the fruit fly behavior.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal behavior, in particular to a fruit fly behavior research system and research method. 【Background technique】 [0002] Animal ethology is a discipline that studies the interaction between animals and the environment or other living things, and takes their communication behavior, emotional expression, social behavior, learning behavior, and reproductive behavior as the research objects. Compared with microscopic research, animal behavior can reflect the overall state of the animal under the mixed effects of multiple factors. Neurogenetics is an important part of brain science. On the one hand, it studies how genes regulate the development and function of brain structure at the molecular level; on the other hand, behavior is the main function of the brain. relationships, which can ultimately provide insight into how genes encode inherited behaviors. [0003] Animal behavior is dominated by corresponding neur...
