Non-human primate animal memory ability evaluation system

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-human primate animal memory ability evaluation system. The system comprises: an adaptability feeding stage experiment, a memory ability evaluation experiment, and an experiment device. The adaptability feeding stage experiment and the memory ability evaluation experiment are both completed based on the experiment device in a matched mode. The experiment device comprises a lifting platform and a cage, wherein the cage is used for providing a necessary living environment for experimental animals. The duration of the adaptability feeding stage experiment is 10-30 days, and the adaptability feeding stage experiment has the effect of enabling an experimental animal to adapt to the living environment and feed and to know experimenters; the duration of memory ability evaluation experiment is 30-60 days, an experimental animal of the memory ability evaluation experiment should pass through the adaptability feeding stage experiment, and laboratory technicians evaluate the memory ability of the experimental animal by performing a delayed reaction experiment on the experimental animal. The evaluation system provided by the invention can respectively evaluate the short-term, long-term, and overload memory capabilities of non-human primates, and the experimental device is simple in structure, and the manufacturing cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of research on the memory ability of non-human primates, in particular to an evaluation system for the memory ability of non-human primates. Background technique [0002] Non-human primates belong to Mammalia and Primates, and refer to primates with many biological characteristics similar to humans. They have a high degree of evolution and are very important experimental animals. Among them, rhesus monkeys are the most used, and non-human primates Animals have many biological characteristics similar to humans, such as omnivorous, well-developed intelligence, neural control, and the ability to manipulate tools with hands. They have the common characteristics of mammals, cannot synthesize vitamin C in the body, and need to ingest it from food. Taking rhesus monkeys as an example, it has 75%-98.5% homology with human genetic material. It is an ideal animal model for human diseases and basic research, and is often used in...

Problems solved by technology

Most of the current common behavioral experimental devices are aimed at small experimental animals such as rodents, such as the mouse water maze learning and memory test platform with the publication number CN205124681U. This type of test platform can only be used for small animals such as rodents and cannot be used for The evaluation of memory ability of non-human primates, and the current evaluation device and equipment for non-human primate experimental animals, such as a set of automatic devices for evaluating the memory function of primate experimental animals and animal cognition with the publication number CN104663490B The ability evaluation method has problems such as high cost and long domestication period before the experiment, but some simple devices such as the non-human primate cognition and motor behavior test device with the publication number CN204192622U are difficult to obtain key delayed response experimental data , cannot evaluate the memory ability of animals
