Abstract

[0002] The brain plays an important role in life activities and is the most complex organ in living organisms. The study of brain function plays a very important role in neurobiology. At present, animal models are commonly used as research objects in neurobiological research, such as mice and macaques. If you want to study the brain function of experimental animals, you usually perform microscopic imaging of blood vessels or neurons in the animal's brain.
[0003] In terms of microscopic imaging, two-photon microscopy has been widely used in functional imaging of living animals due to its advantages of deep penetration, low scattering and deep imaging. In functional imaging of living animals, awake mice can respond in combination with behavior, have real physiological reactions, and are more convenient for conducting physiological studies on related neurons. Therefore, it is very important to have a device that can be used to fix the head of awake mice and match behavior.
[0004] In the technology of fixing the head of awake mice, there are instruments that can accurately adjust the angles of the two axes, AP (anteroposterior bregma) and ML (anteroposterior raphe), and each axis has a range greater than 15 degrees. However, in actual use, the body of the mouse is completely in the restraint tube and cannot move autonomously, which is not suitable for behavioral experiments. In addition, the instrument design process is complex and expensive.
[0005] There is also a head fixator for awake mice used in experiments, which adds a head adjustment device to the restraint tube, but the mouse's body is still completely in the restraint tube, and in actual use, the head adjustment device will conflict with the objective lens space during imaging.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a multi-dimensionally adjustable head fixation device for awake mice, comprising:
[0036] A first adjustment component 1, the first adjustment component 1 is mounted on the chassis 10 and has a displacement degree of freedom in a first direction and a rotation degree of freedom in a second direction relative to the chassis 10;
[0037] A second adjustment component 2, which is mounted on the first adjustment component 1 and has a rotational freedom in a first direction and a rotational freedom in a third direction relative to the chassis 10; and
[0038] The window patch 3 is mounted on the second adjustment component 2 and has the freedom of displacement relative to the chassis 10 within the plane formed by the second direction and the third direction.
[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the chassis 10 serves as the base of the fixing device, can provide stable support, and can be fixed on the laboratory table. The first adjustment component 1 is installed on the chassis 10 and provides corresponding spatial freedom. On this basis, the second adjustment component 2 is installed on the first adjustment component 1, which also provides new spatial freedom. Finally, the window patch 3 installed on the second adjustment component 2 can also provide corresponding spatial freedom. In this way, the spatial freedom formed by the three structures is matched, the animal body parts to be imaged in the experiment are fixed and a multi-dimensional adjustment function is provided.
[0040] More specifically, the first adjustment component 1 provides a displacement degree of freedom in a first direction relative to the chassis 10 and a rotational degree of freedom in a second direction, for example, a slide rail device can be used to perform translational adjustment along the vertical axis (i.e., the first direction) of the chassis 10, or the chassis 10 can be connected by a rotation axis to allow the first adjustment component 1 to rotate around a horizontal axis (i.e., the second direction). The second adjustment component 2 provides a rotational degree of freedom in a first direction relative to the chassis 10 and a rotational degree of freedom in a third direction, for example, it can be made to rotate around a vertical axis (the first direction) relative to the chassis 10, and the component can rotate around an axis perpendicular to the first direction (the third direction) at the same time. The window patch 3 can be made of titanium alloy and bonded to an animal experimental object such as a mouse skull using dental cement. It has a light weight and good hardness and is suitable for long-term experiments. In the structure of the window patch 3, a slide rail or a plurality of positioning points can be used to achieve displacement movement, so as to move in the plane formed by the second direction and the third direction (relative to the horizontal plane of the chassis 10).
[0041] It should be noted that, through the different components in the first adjustment component 1, the second adjustment component 2 and the window patch 3, for example, sliding connection methods such as slide rails are used, and rotating connection methods such as screw locking mechanisms are equipped to maintain the desired angle, so that relative displacement or rotational freedom is formed between the components, which will not be elaborated here.
[0042] In this way, by setting up the first adjustment component 1, the second adjustment component 2 and the window patch 3, through the combination of the existing spatial displacement degrees of freedom and rotational degrees of freedom, the head of the experimental object such as a mouse can be stably fixed, and the fixation of the animal's imaging part and the multi-dimensional adjustment and coordinated imaging fixation device can be achieved, and the animal's own activities will not be completely restrained, which is conducive to fully observing the activities of the animal object during the experiment. It is suitable for the coordination of behavioral experiments and two-photon imaging.
[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a step 102 is provided on the surface of the chassis 10 on which the first adjustment component 1 is installed. The step 102 is provided along the contour of the chassis 10 , and a gap is left between the step 102 and the edge of the surface of the chassis 10 to form an outer contour plane 103 at the edge of the chassis 10 .
[0044] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the chassis 10 can be a circular plane in the shape of a disk, and corresponding screw holes 101 are provided on the chassis 10 for connecting the fixedly installed first adjustment component 1. The step 102 provided on the surface of the chassis 10 is used to form an accommodating space on the surface of the chassis 10 to ensure that the excrement of the experimental object such as a mouse during the fixation period will not contaminate the external space of the chassis 10 such as the laboratory table, and the outer contour plane 103 formed by the step 102 can be used as a positioning surface of the fixing device to fix the fixing device as a whole on the laboratory table.
[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first adjustment component 1 includes a height adjustment frame 11 and a crossbeam 12. The bottom end of the height adjustment frame 11 is mounted on the chassis 10, and a through slot 111 is opened on its upper portion along the first direction; the end of the crossbeam 12 is mounted on the through slot 111 through a connecting piece, and the crossbeam 12 can rotate along the second direction.
[0046] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first adjustment component 1 is formed by the structure of the height adjustment frame 11 and the crossbeam 12. The height adjustment frame 11 can be set to be L-shaped, and a round hole 110 corresponding to the screw hole 101 of the chassis 10 is opened at its bottom for screw connection and fixing. The through slot 111 opened at the upper part of the height adjustment frame 11 is used to install the end of the crossbeam 12, and the crossbeam 12 can select a specific fixed position in the through slot 111, that is, the crossbeam 12 can move up and down along the through slot 111 to adjust the height, thereby forming a displacement degree of freedom in the first direction. Similarly, a threaded hole 120 is opened at the end of the crossbeam 12 connected to the through slot 111, and the aperture of the threaded hole 120 matches the width of the through slot 111, so that a hand screw can be used to install and connect to the threaded hole 120 and lock and fix it on the through slot 111. That is to say, the connecting member can be represented by the threaded hole 120 opened on the crossbeam 12 and the hand screw used. In this way, the position of the beam 12 in the through slot 111 can be adjusted by tightening the thumb screw, and the angle of the beam 12 can be adjusted during the process of tightening the thumb screw, that is, a rotational degree of freedom in the second direction is formed, so that the axial rotation of the thumb screw can be used to adjust the angle of the experimental object such as the AP (front end to rear end) of the mouse.
[0047] See also Figure 4 , the height adjustment frame 11 is also provided with angle scale lines 112, which are used to measure the rotation angle of the cross beam 12 in the through slot 111 in the second direction. By setting scale lines at corresponding positions of the height adjustment frame 11, for example, by posting or engraving angle scale lines 112 on one side of both ends of the through slot 111, the corresponding angle of the cross beam 12 adjustment is indicated for intuitive operation.
[0048] See also Figure 5 A through wedge-shaped groove 121 is provided on the cross beam 12 along the first direction, and a screw hole 122 is provided in the wedge-shaped groove 121 to pass through the third direction. The wedge-shaped groove 121 and the screw hole 122 provided therein can be abutted against a corresponding component of the second adjustment component 2, such as the adjustment neck 21, by a hand screw installed in the screw hole 122, so as to provide the second adjustment component 2 with a degree of freedom of movement relative to the cross beam 12 in the first direction.
[0049] In one embodiment, the second component includes an adapter plate 22 and a fixed plate 23. The adapter plate 22 is installed on the beam 12 through a connecting member, and the adapter plate 22 can rotate along the third direction; the fixed plate 23 is installed at the end of the adapter plate 22 through a connecting member, and the fixed plate 23 can rotate along the first direction.
[0050] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second adjustment component 2 (not shown in the drawings) can be directly formed by the adapter plate 22 and the fixed plate 23. That is to say, it is not necessary to provide the wedge-shaped groove 121 on the crossbeam 12 and the corresponding adjustment neck 21 structure, and the second adjustment component 2 can also provide rotational freedom in two directions. That is, by providing corresponding through holes 210 and connecting holes 220 in the third direction and the first direction corresponding to the adapter plate 22 and the fixed plate 23, and connecting them with corresponding hand screws (that is, the connecting parts used can be realized by locking bolts or hand screws according to the fixing or activity requirements of the relevant components, which will not be repeated in the embodiment of the present invention), the rotation adjustment in the corresponding directions can be realized respectively.
[0051] See also Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second adjustment component 2 includes an adjustment neck 21, an adapter plate 22 and a fixed plate 23. The adjustment neck 21 is installed in the wedge-shaped groove 121; the adapter plate 22 is installed on the adjustment neck 21 through a connecting piece, and the adapter plate 22 can rotate along the third direction; the fixed plate 23 is installed on the end of the adapter plate 22 through a connecting piece, and the fixed plate 23 can rotate along the first direction.
[0052] Furthermore, a through hole 210 is provided on the adjusting neck 21, and a connecting hole 220 corresponding to the through hole 210 is provided on the adapter plate 22. The adjusting neck 21 and the adapter plate 22 are connected by bolts passing through the through hole 210 and the connecting hole 220, so that the adapter plate 22 can rotate along the third direction; the adjusting neck 21 is locked and positioned on the beam 12 by a screw passing through the screw hole 122 and abutting against the adjusting neck 21 in the wedge-shaped groove 121, so that the adjusting neck 21 can move along the first direction.
[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second adjustment component 2 is composed of an adjustment neck 21, an adapter plate 22 and a fixing plate 23. The adjustment neck 21 is matched and fixed with the wedge-shaped groove 121 in the crossbeam 12. The through hole 210 provided in the adjustment neck 21 is used to match and fix with the connection hole 220 and the nut groove in the adapter plate 22. For example, a screw can be passed through the corresponding through hole 210, the connection hole 220 and the nut groove, and a nut can be installed in the nut groove to complete the connection. The adapter plate 22 can be rotated along the fixed axis of the screw (i.e., the third direction) to adjust the angle of the mouse ML (inside to outside), and can be locked by the corresponding screw and nut structure after adjustment.
[0054] Similarly, through the wedge-shaped groove 121 and the screw hole 122 opened therein, the hand screw installed in the screw hole 122 can be abutted against the adjustment neck 21 in the wedge-shaped groove 121 to meet the displacement requirement of the second adjustment component 2 in the first direction. At the same time, in order to meet the rotation requirement of the fixing plate 23 in the first direction, corresponding through holes 230 along the first direction can be opened on the adapter plate 22 and the fixing plate 23, and corresponding connecting parts such as screws and nuts can also be used to adjust the orientation of the entire body of the mouse, and after adjustment, it can be locked by the screw and nut structure.
[0055] See also Figure 7 In one embodiment, a U-shaped groove 231 penetrating the first direction is formed on the fixing plate 23 , and a plurality of pairs of positioning holes 232 penetrating the first direction are formed on the fixing plate 23 on both sides of the U-shaped groove 231 .
[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing plate 23 is used to install the window patch 3, which is directly installed on the animal body part such as the head of the mouse, and the U-shaped groove 231 is provided to leave a space for the animal body part such as the mouse body to move. On the fixing plate 23 formed on both sides of the U-shaped groove 231, a plurality of pairs of positioning holes 232 are provided to selectively fix the experimental animal object such as the mouse with the window patch 3 attached to the position of a pair of positioning holes 232 as needed.
[0057] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, the window patch 3 includes a center hole 31 and positioning grooves 32 located on both sides of the center hole 31. The center hole 31 is used to expose the imaging observation part, and the window patch 3 is installed on a plurality of pairs of positioning holes 232 through the positioning grooves 32.
[0058] Specifically, the animal experimental object part, such as the mouse cranial window, is exposed through the central hole 31 of the window patch 3 so as not to affect the subsequent imaging observation experiment. The positioning grooves 32 opened on both sides can fix the window patch 3 on the positioning holes 232 of the fixing plate 23 through a bolt structure. At the same time, according to the left and right positions of the brain area of the animal body part, such as the mouse head, the positioning grooves 32 on both sides corresponding to the left and right positions of the brain area can be selected to have different lengths.
[0059] It should be noted that, by virtue of the rotational freedom of the fixing plate 23 in the first direction, the multiple pairs of positioning holes 232 thereon realize the displacement freedom of the window patch 3 to be installed and fixed in one direction, and the size difference between the body shape of the animal experimental subject and the width of the U-shaped groove 231, the displacement freedom of the window patch 3 in another direction is formed, that is, the displacement freedom of the window patch 3 in the plane formed by the second direction and the third direction (the horizontal plane relative to the chassis 10) is realized.
[0060] In one embodiment, the use process of the fixing device may include the following steps:
[0061] Before use, the experimental mouse needs to undergo craniotomy under anesthesia to expose the tissue to be imaged. For some deep brain regions, a prism or a Grin Lens is embedded. After embedding, a glass patch is attached to the tissue, and the skull is sealed and fixed with tissue glue. Then dental cement is applied around the cranial window glass, and the dental cement bonds the window patch 3 to the mouse skull, with the glass patch located at the center hole 31.
[0062] The mouse that recovers normally after operation is fixed on the fixing device in the embodiment of the present invention, the window patch 3 of the mouse head is fixed on the fixing plate 23 with two screws, select suitable fixed distance according to experimental needs, mainly according to the space required for the object lens during animal size and imaging. Move up and down along the through groove 111 and adjust the neck 21 to move up and down along the wedge groove 121 to adjust the height of the mouse, so that the limbs of the mouse contact chassis 10 and can move freely. When carrying out living body two-photon imaging, ensure that the mouse cranial window is vertical to the object lens light, then need to adjust the front and back left and right angles of the mouse in some marginal brain areas, the crossbeam 12 can be used to adjust the angle of the mouse AP (front end to rear end) along the fixed axis rotation, and the adapter plate 22 can be used to adjust the angle of the mouse ML (inboard to outside) along the fixed axis rotation. In addition, the fixing plate 23 can be used to adjust the whole body of the mouse towards along the fixed axis rotation, so that the device direction of the behavior can be more easily matched, such as screen equipment, to complete the experimental process.
[0063] In summary, the present invention provides a multi-dimensionally adjustable head fixer for awake mice. By setting a first adjustment component, a second adjustment component and a window patch, the head of an experimental object such as a mouse can be stably fixed by utilizing the combination of the existing spatial displacement degrees of freedom and rotation degrees of freedom, thereby achieving fixation of the animal's imaging site and multi-dimensionally adjustable coordinated imaging fixator, and the fixation will not completely restrain the animal's own activities, which is conducive to fully observing the activities of the animal object during the experiment, and is suitable for coordinated experiments of behavioral experiments and two-photon imaging.
