The invention relates to the technical field of animal behavioral research, in particular to a behavioral detection device for detecting the
motion coordination ability of a mouse. The device comprises a transverse ladder
runway, a rectangular baffle, a cuboid support, a cuboid
camera obscura, a rectangular tray, a supporting rod, a camera and a lamp. The transverse ladder
runway is composed of
metal bars and
metal wires, and is convenient for mice to
climb. The rectangular baffles are arranged on the two sides of the
runway and are beneficial to limiting the mice from climbing towards the side faces and guiding the mice to
climb along the runway, the cuboid supports are installed below the two ends of the runway to enhance the stability of the runway, the cuboid
camera obscura and the lamp are placed on the supports at the two ends of the runway respectively, and the mice are guided to move unidirectionally through the
darkness tendency
instinct of the mice. The camera is placed on the side of the runway and records mouse movement images for subsequent analysis. The device is simple in structure, sensitive and effective in mouse movement coordination ability determination, and capable of detecting multiple behavior indexes, so that the experiment efficiency is remarkably improved.
