Behavioral experimental device and experimental method for animal auditory association matching

Abstract

The invention discloses a behavioral experimental device and an experimental method for animal auditory association matching. The behavioral experimental device includes a housing, a light shield, a detection component, a flip plate, a sounding component and a control component. There are multiple partitions inside the shell, which divide the space inside the shell into multiple cavities, and each cavity is provided with a partition plate, which divides the cavity into an experimental cavity and a food cavity. The shell is provided with a plurality of hand openings, each hand opening is connected to an experimental cavity, and the partition plate is provided with a feeding port to communicate with the experimental cavity and the food cavity. The plate is used to block the side wall of the housing with multiple hand openings, there are multiple flaps, each flap is set corresponding to a feeding port, and the sounding component is used to emit sound stimulation toward the experimental animals. The behavioral experimental device It can better quantify and analyze the association matching relationship between animal hearing and behavior, so as to more accurately analyze the function of the temporal lobe of the brain region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal behavior research, in particular to an animal auditory association matching behavioral experimental device and experimental method. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, animals have great similarities with humans in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, immunology and genetics, and are widely used in medical biology (including behavior) testing and research. Behavioral training is the study of clinical characteristics of animals. Animals complete target tasks in training to achieve the purpose of evaluating certain indicators, so as to reveal the nature and laws of life activities, health and diseases. However, because it is a large, intelligent, gregarious, long-lived, non-domesticated and aggressive animal, it is difficult and complicated to configure a reasonable behavioral device. Previous studies on visuospatial cognitive memory focused on testing working mem...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there is no device that can accurately quantify the matching of animal hearing and behavior in the existing technology. Most of the existing devices can only perform qualitative analysis. Such analysis results are not accurate and cannot well reflect the animal's hearing and behavior. Therefore, it is not possible to analyze the function of the temporal lobe in the corresponding brain area of ​​animals very well.
