Automated mechanical arm stimulating device for animal memory training system

Abstract

The invention relates to an automated mechanical arm stimulating device for an animal memory training system, which fundamentally solves the problems of excessive anthropic factor involvement and untimely and inaccurate stimulation of a stimulating system in the traditional maze device. The automated mechanical arm stimulating device comprises an orthogonal coordinate robot positioning system, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system, a test mouse position detecting system and a stimulating system, wherein the orthogonal coordinate robot positioning system is established by adopting a rapid linear positioning mechanism; the test mouse position detecting system comprises four photoelectric thru-beam sensors which are respectively arranged at the door openings of the animal memory training system; the stimulating system comprises a mechanical arm with three pipelines; and the three pipelines respectively correspond to water, gas and food stimulation and respectively realize the supply of water, gas and foods by the PLC system. The automated mechanical arm stimulating device is used for more timely and accurately stimulating a test animal by matching with the animal memory training system formed by a closed rotary maze and ensures the test effect of the animal memory training system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a stimulation device for studying animal memory behavior training methods, in particular to an automatic mechanical arm stimulation device for an animal memory training system. It can be applied to the fields of neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and psychology. Background technique [0002] At present, animal behavior experiments are indispensable and important means for studying advanced brain functions and other neurosciences, especially in behavioral medical research such as neurophysiology and neuropharmacology. Among them, the maze test is a classic project of behavioral experiments, and it is one of the most commonly used experiments to study the learning and memory functions of experimental mice, and it is also a commonly used animal model for cognitive drug screening. There are many types of labyrinth devices, but they all include three basic components: training area - place animals; target area - safety zone or food...
