Embodiment 1

[0027] With reference to Fig. 1 and 2, make a T-shaped water maze of the present invention, make a T-shaped water tank 8 that is made up of cross arm 1 and straight arm 5 with plastic-sprayed black iron sheet material, cross arm 1 is long 180 centimeters, and straight arm 5 is long 70 cm, the width of both the cross arm and the straight arm is 40 cm, and the height of the water tank is 75 cm. There is a water outlet 3 at the right outer corner of the bottom of the cross arm 1, and a plug drain pipe with a diameter of 5 centimeters is installed on the water outlet 3, which can be connected to the drain hose and lead to the sewer. The bottom side of cross arm 1 is provided with a height-adjustable safety platform 4 (adjustable height 20-25 centimeters). The position of safety platform 4 is not fixed, can change left and right. Described safety platform 4 is made up of a cylinder and a circular platform, and described cylinder has screw thread, and circular platform bottom has s...

Embodiment 2

[0035] Improve on the basis of embodiment 1, first improve the height adjustment mechanism of safety platform 4, described safety platform is made up of a cylinder and a circular platform, and circular platform bottom has hole, and the side wall of hole has screw hole, and fix the cylinder to the circular platform with a screw. The installation position of safety platform 4 is not fixed, can change left and right on cross arm.

Embodiment 3

[0037] Using the device of Example 1, a multi-level method for objectively measuring the ability of rats from simple spatial orientation learning to complex signal meaning learning is carried out. The test of rat space orientation learning ability is divided into three different levels: the present invention provides the method for carrying out behavior experiment in the behavior experiment system of multi-level objective measurement animal learning ability, comprises the following steps:

[0038] 1. A simple test of the learning ability of left and right spatial orientation: fix the platform on one side (left or right) of the water storage tank. According to the characteristics of experimental animals (take rats as an example), they can swim freely in 18°C ​​water for at least 10 minutes, so each training time is set as 10 minutes. If the rat could not find the safe platform within 10 min, the second training was performed after a 5 min rest. If the rat finds the safety plat...

Abstract

The invention discloses a behavior experiment system to observe animal studying ability objectively, which consists of T-shaped non-transparent tank and safe table in the tank, wherein the tank is composed of transverse arm and vertical arm; the bottom of transverse arm possesses vent pipe, which connects draining hose to outlet; the height of safe table can be adjusted, which is set on one side bottom of transverse arm; two signal lamps are set on each sides of two ends of T-shaped tank transverse arms; the infrared sensor is set at intersecting part of vertical arm and transverse arm of tank; the infrared sensor, signal lamp and signal control switch constitute signal lamp controlling system through safe pressure controlling circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a behavior test device for animal learning ability, in particular, it is a behavioral experiment system for testing rats from simple spatial orientation learning ability to complex signal meaning learning ability and multi-level objective measurement of animal learning ability and methods. Background technique [0002] Maze is a commonly used behavior test device for determining the learning ability of animals. It mainly includes two types: water maze (with water as the medium) and food maze. The most commonly used water maze is the Morris water maze behavior model. This mode is to inject the amount of water required for the experiment into the cylindrical bucket, put the experimental rats into the bucket, and test the rats by observing and recording behavioral data such as the time, distance, orientation angle and strategy used by the rats to find the platform learning ability. For example, Chinese patent application number...
