The application discloses a device and method for detecting mouse motion
learning behavior, and belongs to the field of
animal behavior detection. The device comprises a mouse motion
runway, a dark box at the terminal of the
runway, and a camera for recording the motion process of the mouse. The
runway is provided with a plurality of replaceable
metal rods in the transverse direction. The
metal rods are composed of any one or both of
white metal rods and black
metal rods. The runway composed of the black metal rods and the
white metal rods is provided with any one of the metal rods for
electrification, and the electrified metal rods are discontinuously arranged. The mouse is shocked by stepping on the electrified metal rods. The method of the application replaces the metal rods to form different runways, trains the mouse to reach the dark box through the different runways, and obtains the motion
learning behavior ability of the mouse at different stages. The process of motion learning is simulated through programmed training. The role of the brain regions in the process of motion
learning behavior is determined by regulating the regions of the
substantia nigra or the
striatum corresponding to the motion learning.
