Problems solved by technology

However, the system is implemented through an analog circuit, and the response speed is slow (with a delay of 1 to 3 seconds), and the system is not stable enough, and sometimes there will be a failure to give an electric shock
In addition, the system can only be controlled by a computer, there is no physical switch for a single training unit, the security is not enough, and the advantage of the system that can control multiple training systems at the same time cannot be fully exploited
In addition, since the system only has a western version, it brings great difficulties to daily operation

Embodiment Construction

[0014] In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the principles and specific implementations of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0015] see figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the present invention.

[0016] The fruit fly olfactory memory learning system includes an independent control chip, a hardware control center, an electric stimulator, an independent switch and control software.

[0017] Each independent control chip is equipped with 4 sets of electric valves, including 3 sets of odor valves and 1 set of electric stimulation valves. Each valve opens when receiving 24V voltage, and can maintain the open state as long as the voltage is not less than 12V after opening. In addition, the independent control chip can detect abnormal conditions such as short circuit, light the short circuit feedback light ...

Abstract

The invention provides a drosophila smell learning memory training system capable of being used for controlling of multiple training units, and meanwhile the relevance between the smell and the electric shock can be independently established by each training unit. The system comprises independent control chips, a hardware control center, an electric simulator, an independent switch and control software. The independent switch can send a pre-set program to the hardware control center. By setting of the control software, a control program is sent to the hardware control center. The hardware control center can control opening and closing of multiple airflow and / or electrical simulator valves connected with the independent control chips.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for studying the experimental behavior of insects, in particular to a device for studying the olfactory learning and memory training of fruit flies. Background technique [0002] Insects such as Drosophila play an important role in many fields of neuroscience, especially the field of cognitive science related to learning and memory. Since Drosophila has a keen sense of smell and a learning and memory model based on smell, as early as the 1970s, Benzer and his student Quinn designed the Drosophila olfactory electric shock evasion system and found a way to measure Drosophila olfactory memory. In the 1980s, Quinn and his student Tully improved the training method to quantify the results of olfactory memory in Drosophila. [0003] Quinn and Tully et al. established a quantitative method for olfactory memory following the classic Pavlovian conditioning principle, that is, using the Drosophila T-maze to establish the associ...
