Problems solved by technology

Some researchers in China used the electric stimulation box improved by the shuttle box to carry out behavioral experiments (finally gave up); others conducted behavioral research through the water maze for tree shrew swimming training; other experiments could not avoid the stimulation of water, electricity, and light. These stimuli are enough to cause the tree shrew to have a strong stress response, so that inaction and non-response occurred during the experiment

Embodiment 1

[0026] 1) How to use the food hiding box:

[0027] According to the characteristics of tree shrews whose teeth are relatively small and whose gnawing force is worse than that of rodents, the material used for making food boxes should not be too hard to ensure that it is not too difficult for tree shrews to find food after finding the food box; at the same time, it must have a certain density and hardness to ensure The smell of the food in the box does not escape, preventing the tree shrew from finding the food directly by its sense of smell. After repeated tests, the final selected density is: 0.94—0.98g / cm 3 Food box made of white plastic foam. The outer diameter of the round food box is 2.5-3.5cm, and the thickness is 2.5-3.5cm; the inner diameter of the food storage space is 1.5-2.0cm, and the depth is 2-2.5cm; the food preferred by tree shrews is placed in a unified plastic foam box Inside, seal the mark with red tape; put the pellet feed for tree shrews in a unified pla...

example 2

[0040] The color of the tree shrew's preferred food hiding box can be changed to green or other colors for marking, such as blue, black, etc.;

[0041] Increase the number of plastic foam food hiding boxes to 6, namely: 1 each for red and green, and 4 for yellow, making it more difficult for tree shrews to choose;

[0042] In the scoring method, the average score of 6 days was used for comparison before and after the experiment.

[0043] All the other methods are the same as in Example 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a tree shrew behavioristic evaluation method. The method combines the method for hiding the food of a tree shrew by using a food hiding box, an experimental tree shrew selecting and training method and a study and memory scoring method. The characteristic that the tree shrew is developed in vision is utilized, the food of the tree shrew is hidden in the food hiding box, color marking and training are carried out, a whole experiment is carried out under the conditions that no stimulation influence factor exists, and comparison on behavior changes of the tree shrew is carried out through the average score of the tree shrew before and after the experiment is started. More scientific, comprehensive and objective evaluation results can be obtained through the tree shrew behavioristic evaluation method. The used materials are cheap and easy to manufacture, operation is convenient, and the evaluation method is scientific.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a tree shrew behavior evaluation method. Background technique [0003] At present, domestic and foreign scientific researches on toxicology, psychiatry and neuropharmacology mostly focus on experimental rats (transgenic rats), among which behavioral evaluation is an important indicator. Behavioral research is mainly evaluated by the detection of voluntary activity, coordinated movement, and learning and memory ability. The specific methods include: open field test, footprint analysis, hole plate test, shuttle box test, Morris water maze, radial maze, Y-shaped maze, T-maze, Barnes maze test, elevated cross maze and more than ten methods. Most of the existing methods involve: food deprivation; large differences in individual physique, no consistent selection of animals; and stimulating factors such as light, electricity, and water, which are contrary to animal ethics and other issues, and some are even controversial.
