Non-human primate response behavior test system

Abstract

The invention relates to a non-human primate animal reaction behavior testing system comprising an animal self-drug delivery system operation box, a fixed chair and protection clothes. The fixed chair is placed in the operation box; the operation box is cooperatively equipped with testing equipment testing animal reaction behaviors; the fixed chair is formed by a chair seat and a chair back; the back part of the protection clothes is provided with a protection box accommodating a body surface retention tube; and the protection box can be fixed on the chair back to fix the protection clothes, so an animal can be fixed and animal behaviors can be tested via the testing equipment. Various demands during the testing process can be thoroughly met by the use of the testing system and the testing process can be simplified, so testing cost can be lowered; the animal can be fixed with the back of the animal fixation during the test, so arms and legs of the animal can freely move; and animal behaviors can be accurately monitored.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of non-human primate behavior test research, in particular to a non-human primate reaction behavior test system. Background technique [0002] As a non-human primate close relative to humans, monkeys have high IQ and are ideal animal models for studying drug responses. Behavioral tests on monkeys include voluntary ingestion of food, intravenous self-administration, etc., that is, animals obtain food or intravenously injected addictive drugs as rewards through conditioned reflex behavior. For intravenous injection, it is necessary to pass the pipeline through the skin of the body surface and leave it on the skin surface so as to connect the infusion pump or electric stimulator for testing. According to the test situation, the pipeline may need to be left on the animal for a long time. Done in a separate operating box. [0003] Since monkeys are non-human primates with high IQ, their limbs are very flexible and powerf...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing operation boxes generally rely on imports, which are expensive, and the layout of some modules in the operation box is unreasonable; in addition, the monkeys used for testing abroad are quite different from the monkeys used in domestic testing, and it is difficult to meet the needs of current tests. It is necessary to study a test system suitable for testing the response behavior of domestic non-human primates to facilitate various needs in the test, such as: fixing animals, protecting indwelling pipelines, feeding, intravenous injection, and animals under conditions. Operational behavior during reflection and test result records, etc., to obtain more realistic and accurate test results
