Experimental animal autonomous behavior monitoring equipment

Abstract

Laboratory animal autonomic behavior monitoring equipment is formed by electrically connecting a laboratory animal autonomic activity detection device arranged at the bottom inside a laboratory animal model cage and a detection control device located outside the laboratory animal model cage. As the laboratory animal autonomic activity detection device adopts a large-area electroconductive rubber contact pressure touch switch, a detection module of the detection control device adopts an efficiency algorithm, and therefore the equipment is high in information collection sensitivity and capable of rapidly, automatically and accurately calculating various test data and displaying the result. The autonomic activity behaviors of a laboratory animal model can be effectively, automatically, accurately and rapidly monitored and the detection will provide important parameter information for research of the animal neurobehaviors and brain functions. In addition, the equipment has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to install and lay out, low in manufacturing cost, easy to operate, free of blind areas within the monitoring range and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an animal experiment equipment, in particular to an experimental animal autonomous behavior monitoring equipment, which is suitable for the autonomous activity test of an experimental animal model, especially a mouse animal model. Background technique [0002] Autonomic activity detection in animal models is an important parameter for the study of animal neurobehavior and brain function. The autonomic activity of animals is affected by many factors and has been used in most rodent studies. In the study of neurological diseases It has important application value. [0003] The detection content of the autonomous activity of the animal model is mostly the number of times the mouse moves and stands. The detection method is divided into two types: manual recording and automatic detection. Sex has adverse effects. The automatic detection method is mainly based on the detection of infrared sensing device and camera device. The infra...

Problems solved by technology

The shortcomings of these two detection devices include: 1. The images captured by the camera device need to be processed to obtain the position of the mouse and the number of activities. complicated and long

2. Infrared devices are mostly composed of infrared array detection points, and there are often detection blind spots. Not only the detection range is limited, the detection information is incomplete, but also the cost is relatively expensive.

3. Infrared device and camera installation need to occupy a large space
