Anti-interference zebra fish hearing function detection water tank

Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-interference zebra fish hearing function detection water tank. The anti-interference zebra fish hearing function detection water tank comprises a water tank portion and a support portion; the water tank portion is arranged at the upper end of the support portion; the water tank portion comprises a horn water tank (6) and an audiometric water tank (12); a baffle plate (3) which is adjacent to the horn water tank (6) and the audiometric water tank (12) is provided with a sound transmission hole groove; an underwater horn (4) is arranged in the horn water tank (6); a zebra fish placement support (11) is arranged in the audiometric water tank (12); the zebra fish placement support (11) is provided with a zebra fish fixing device (10) which is used for fixing zebra fishes; the surface of the horn water tank (6) and the surface of the audiometric water tank (12) are connected onto the ground. Compared with the prior art, the structure is novel and simple, the underwater acoustic and underwater recording experimental conditions are perfected, a multi-frequency hearing function test of the zebra fishes in a real situation is implemented, the electromagnetic interference is significantly reduced, and the accuracy of audiology research is greatly improved.

Description

[technical field] [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of zebrafish hearing function testing, in particular to an anti-jamming zebrafish hearing function testing water tank. [Background technique] [0002] Zebrafish is an important model organism for the study of development, function and disease of various systems. As an experimental animal model, zebrafish provides great convenience for the development of auditory function and functional reconstruction after hearing loss. Testing of auditory function in zebrafish has been a major hurdle in this type of research. In earlier studies, the hearing function test of zebrafish was done in the air, that is, both the horn giving the sound and the fish being tested were located in the air. Although this type of testing technology is mature, there are disadvantages that cannot be ignored: on the one hand, the tested fish needs a breathing maintenance device; on the other hand, the tested fish is out of normal living ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this type of testing technology is mature, there are disadvantages that cannot be ignored: on the one hand, the tested fish needs a breathing maintenance device; on the other hand, the tested fish is out of normal living conditions

Therefore, zebrafish auditory function tests done in air do not accurately reflect actual auditory function.

[0003] Although in recent studies, the zebrafish auditory function test has been completed underwater, however, related reports have shown that the electromagnetic interference during the underwater test has seriously affected the interpretation of the test results.
