Embodiment Construction

[0012] Structure of the present invention sees figure 1 , the main body is a large box 1 made of a transparent plexiglass plate, and a central platform 2 is placed in the middle to observe whether the motor function of the animal is normal. A removable food box 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 is respectively placed in the outer four corners of the box 1, which is convenient for placing food pills. At the entrance of each food box 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, there is an opaque door 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4 that can be pushed open, and animals can Look for food in and out by this door, put a small disc 4-1,4-2,4-3,4-4 on the middle floor of each food box 3-1,3-2,3-3,3-4. A 9-10 mg round food pill is placed in each small disk 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4. The floor of large box 1 and food box 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 and the upper end face of central platform 2 are all attached and made by the shielding material of anti-electromagnetic interference, to reduce the interference of electromagnetic environment.

Abstract

The invention discloses an animal behavior memory test maze device which comprises a main body that is a big box made of a transparent organic glass plate, wherein a center platform is placed in the center of the big box, movable food boxes are respectively placed at four bottom corners of the outer part of the big box, a channel is arranged between each food box and the big box, the inlet of the channel of each food box is provided with an opaque door which can be pushed open, the middle floor in each food box is provided with a small disk; and bags consisting of four pellets are respectively placed on gaps between the floors in the four food boxes and the bottom of the disk. Different patterns of vertical plates and illuminating devices are arranged close to four side surfaces of the outside of the big box, an opaque cover covers outside the big box, the food boxes, the pattern vertical plates and the illuminating devices, and the top end of the cover is provided with a camera. The invention can solve the technical problem of existing limit of a simple experiment observing target in a traditional test for an animal learning memory or cognitive function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a learning and memory testing tool for animal behavior research. Background technique [0002] At present, in the study of animal learning memory or cognitive function, maze is the most commonly used behavioral monitoring device. The characteristics of commonly used maze test devices are as follows: T-maze, radial maze, and Morris water maze are commonly used to study the spatial learning and memory of animals. Platform jumping test, shuttle box test, etc. belong to operant conditioning, among which shuttle box test is more commonly used in behavioral experiments. This method can observe passive and active avoidance responses at the same time. T-maze and Y-maze are used for discriminative learning tests. The elevated maze makes animals have the impulse to explore and fear at the same time, resulting in the "exploration-avoidance" conflict behavior, which can better reflect the anxiety of animals. The open field test mainly r...
