Honeycomb type electric shock maze device replacing water maze and video analysis system

Abstract

The invention discloses a honeycomb type electric shock maze device replacing a water maze and a video analysis system, and relates to the technical field of animal experiment devices, and the honeycomb type electric shock maze device comprises a maze and a camera; the video analysis system comprises a controller, a computer, an experiment process operation module and a video analysis module, the camera is electrically connected with the controller through a wire, and the controller is electrically connected with the computer through a wire; and a plurality of paths through which the mouse can pass along the second silk screen and reach the labyrinth unit provided with the attractant are formed in the labyrinth. According to the maze device capable of replacing the Morris water maze, the experiment process does not depend on water any more, and therefore the application range of the water maze experiment is effectively widened; according to the invention, the experimental difficulty is reduced, the water source is saved, experimental result data of probing tracks, probing time, probing modes, electric shock times and electric shock time of rats and mice can be accurately calculated, the effectiveness of experimental results is improved, and the labor capacity of experimenters is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal experimental devices, in particular to a cellular electric shock maze device and a video analysis system instead of a water maze. Background technique [0002] Morris water maze is a classic experiment to study the learning and memory ability of rodents. In animal behavior and neurobiology experiments, the water maze is often used to detect the spatial memory ability of animals. Animals can search for the water maze according to the markers in the environment. The location of the platform. [0003] The traditional water maze experimental device and operation are as follows: The water maze system is divided into a water maze device and a water maze image automatic acquisition and software analysis system. The labyrinth is 1.0m in diameter and 0.5m in height. The maze is divided into 4 quadrants, each with signs posted. The water maze experiment was divided into two parts, which were tested contin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Rats and mice cannot perform water maze experiments due to factors such as modeling, such as brain stereotaxic injection with needle retention, multi-channel electrophysiological experiments, and ultramicroscopic imaging experiments. The maze experiment severely limits its ability to detect spatial memory
