Description

Rat risk chooses the training method of behavior
Technical field
The present invention relates to the association area of pharmaceutical research, and in particular to a kind of rat risk chooses the training side of behavior Method.
Background technology
Behavior is chosen(Decision Making)It is common mental process in daily life.Wherein, risk choice is to pick out The person of selecting judges to income condition obtained by choice object and the probability being likely to occur, and costs and benefits are weighed, So as to the behavior for making one's choice.Risk choice behavior is closely bound up with daily life, and the behavior, disorderly meeting was to individual, family Front yard or even society produce and have a strong impact on, and it is a typical example to be addicted to gambling.In addition, some the nervous system diseases The disorder of individual choice behavior can be caused.Therefore, the neuromodulation mechanism of research risk choice behavior is conducive to finding alleviation disease The ailing basic method of people, the quality of life to improving patient is significant.
Training method its science for the rat risk choice behavior for using at present has been short of, pertinent arts basis Shortcoming, training effectiveness is relatively low.Therefore the training method that more science, efficient rat risk choose behavior is designed, is more helped Yu researcher is efficiently monitored to animal behavior, and preferably the related brain areas for regulation and control risk choice behavior launch to grind Study carefully work.
The content of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is directed to problem above, there is provided a kind of rat risk chooses the training method of behavior, wherein accumulateing Knowwhy containing relevant speciality in the ambits such as Animal Behavior Science, behavioral pharmacology, Neurobiology so that training method It is more reasonable, more scientific, the related brain areas of regulation and control risk choice behavior in behavior task is more precisely talked about, reduce other uncorrelated brains The influence that area's active belt comes, contributes to training for promotion efficiency.
The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions, and rat risk chooses the training method of behavior, it is characterised in that its The step of training method, is as follows:
Step one, trainer prepare:Trainer will at least include training box, animal triggering device, selection arm, sound feedback System, reward area, monitoring and record system;(1)Multiple training chest can be set in the training box of setting;(2)The training of training box Animal triggering device is set, and experimental animal is required for touch trigger device before starting each training mission, it is ensured that experiment exists in room Carried out on the premise of experimental animal operant conditioned reflex;(3)Two profiles, structure equal indifferences are set in the training chest of training box Different selection arm, selects the species of arm not limit, the passage and depressible action bars passed through for experimental animal.Each selection Independent mux --out signal exhibits area is set on the structure of arm or in surrounding space certain limit, is easy to experimental animal to set up signal with phase The contact between arm should be selected.Signal can be diversified forms, but need to ensure the signal influence such as nonirritant on experimental animal. Signal is divided into two kinds in the training mission, using the differentiation of figure or the differentiation of color or the differentiation conduct of bright light number The two species diversity signals that experimental animal can differentiate;(4)Sound feedback system is set in training box, according to the selection of experimental animal Situation gives the prompting of certain sound feedback alternatively situation, such as the positive tone for raising up is set into correct selection carries Show sound, the passive tone of decline is set to wrong choice prompt tone;(5)Reward area is set in the training chest of training box, only in fact Testing animal arrival reward area can obtain quantitative reward.Bonuses could be arranged to peanut, water, fruit juice according to experimental program Etc. the food that can transfer experimental animal enthusiasm.According to task, reward is divided into two kinds, a kind of for reward probability is 100% to determine Small reward is measured, reward S is named as, the amount of reward S is depending on experimental design.Another kind is quantitative less than 100% for reward probability Big reward, is named as reward L, and the reward probability and reward amount for rewarding L can be depending on experimental designs;(6)Set in training box Monitoring and record system, it is ensured that experimental animal state can in real time be monitored and record, operating time of the record key element including animal, Selection situation, reward situation, feedback etc..
Step 2, experimental animal prepare:Experimental animal trains first 1 week by handle treatment, experimental animal is familiar with instruction Practice personnel, exclude animal influences training effect because producing the moods such as fear, anxiety on experimenter;Sound is carried out after Handle Amount strength test, the wave volume should ensure that experimental animal will not produce the exception row such as fear in the case of can perceiving sound For record source of sound is away from the parameter such as experimental animal distance and decibels size, correct prompt tone and mistake in implementing for experiment The parameter that prompt tone is set;Testing first three day need to carry out control water or control food preparation according to experimental design, keep the weight of animals not low The 85% of normal type before food is controlled, it is ensured that make animal produce the dynamic of operation task in the case where animal bodies situation is not damaged Machine.During the training period, after training makes the free diet of experimental animal to no longer diet after terminating every time, continue to control water or control food.Respectively Can start formal training after the completion of item preparation.
Step 3, scene adaptation training:Experimental animal is put into the training chest original position in training box, makes it freely visit Rope, once animal touch trigger device, then start a training mission, scene laundering period purpose is experimental animal is familiar with instruction Practice place and its surrounding enviroment, understand training box structure, the award mode of familiarization training case and feature etc., therefore need not in training chest Any signal is set, as long as experimental animal selects any selection arm after triggering device is started and reaches reward region, is sounded Correct prompt tone simultaneously gives certain reward.If experimental animal repeats, multi-pass operation or faulty operation, mistake of sounding is carried Show sound, given without reward.Each training mission is both needed to the autonomous touch trigger device of experimental animal to start.The behaviour of experimental animal Make situation and reward situation is both needed to record, be easy to subsequently carry out statistical analysis to behavior task operating situation.Experiment number foundation Reward is set depending on the situation of size and experimental animal, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining.When experimental animal operation just True rate reach more than 80% and it is continual and steady after think that experimental animal has realized training objective, turn to the preference profile to animal Detected and corrected.
Step 4, preference detection and amendment training:Statistical experiment animal selects two to select arm in training box respectively Number of times, compares whether they have notable difference, if not existing difference, then it is assumed that experimental animal selects a certain item in the absence of preference Situation, without being modified training;If having differences, then it is assumed that experimental animal has the situation that preference selects a certain item.In order to Prevent the study and selection of this preference influence animal in training below and experiment of experimental animal, the experiment for having preference from moving Thing need to carry out preference amendment training.
It is every in training box using preference amendment training method for the rat for having preference in preference amendment training Signal is not provided with individual selection arm, experimental animal unrestricted choice could be obtained when only successively selecting variant twice in reward area Obtain and necessarily reward.For this regular experimental animal without law society, then increase supplemental training, i.e., selected by artificial side of blocking The mode of arm helps the rat to carry out the training by selecting arm, per 4~6 freedom of entry selection mode detections again afterwards of supplemental training The selection situation of experimental animal, for two selections of selection arm in the case of experimental animal association alternate selection or unrestricted choice When number of times is without significant difference, it is believed that experimental animal is without preference.
Step 5, assignment training:Assignment training is divided into secure item training and risk training, two priorities of tasking learning Order is random, and the study of the next item down task could be turned in the case of must ensureing a task association.Signal kinds and reward kind Class need to remain matching.The selection situation of daily experimental animal is counted, when experimental animal selection is provided with the choosing of corresponding signal The frequency for selecting arm reaches more than 80% in continuous 4 days, that is, select accuracy continuous 4 days up to more than 80%, then it is assumed that it has learned this Task, reaches training objective.(1)Secure item training is that experimental animal is put into training box original position, if training box sets many Individual training chest, then experimental animal is put into the original position of any training chest at random, is started after experimental animal touch trigger device One selection task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal A, another nothing to make it Signal.When experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of signal A, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can be Reward area obtains reward S;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal A, miscue sound equipment rises, is given without reward And record corresponding selection situation;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if in its arrival Animal performs other operations before reward area, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, records corresponding operational circumstances.If Animal smoothly reaches reward area after selection, then select situation to obtain corresponding reward according to it, and the selection task terminates, equipment Enter into next mission ready time.Likewise, animal can only start next selection after touch trigger device appointing Business, the signal facilities of next selection task are performed depending on the situation of upper selection task according to animal, should be followed and " be entangled It is wrong " principle:If the selection arm of setting signal A is selected in a upper selection task for experimental animal and arrival reward area is encouraged Encourage, then next selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal selects in a upper selection task The selection arm for being not provided with signal A is selected, then the signal of next selection task sets ibid a selection task, i.e. signal and sets Relative position is identical.Every experimental animal selection task number of times is not more than 100 daily, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining. (2)Risk training is the original position that experimental animal is put into any one training box, after experimental animal touch trigger device Start a selection task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal B to make it, another Individual no signal.When experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of signal B, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can Reward L is obtained with reward area;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal B, miscue sound equipment rises, without reward Give and record corresponding selection situation;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if at it Animal performs other operations before reaching reward area, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, the corresponding operation feelings of record Condition.If animal smoothly reaches reward area after selection, situation is selected to obtain corresponding reward, the selection task knot according to it Beam, equipment enters into next mission ready time.Likewise, animal can only start after touch trigger device it is next Selection task, the signal facilities of next selection task should be according to the situation of the upper selection task of animal execution It is fixed, it then follows " error correction " principle:If experimental animal selects the selection arm of setting signal B in a upper selection task and reaches reward Area is rewarded, then next selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal is in upper one selection Selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal B in task, then the signal of next selection task sets an ibid selection task, that is, believe Number set relative position it is identical.Every experimental animal task number of times upper limit is 100 times daily, prevents the influence animal that overtrains Behavior.
Step 6, memory consolidation training:Experimental animal is put into the original position of any one Experiment Training room, by animal Autonomous to start training mission, task is divided into two parts, and Part I is trained with the secure item of step 5, the same step of the second part Five risk training, it is random that two parts perform sequencing.When experimental animal can keep selection just in two kinds of tasks True rate stabilization can then carry out the experiment of next step more than 80%.
Step 7, risk choice training:The training is divided into three parts, respectively secure item detection, risk detection, behavior Choice.Preceding two parts detection method is trained with the secure item of step 5, risk training method, and the execution of preceding two parts detection is suitable Sequence is random, only carries out the 3rd when experimental animal selects accuracy to reach more than 90% and stabilization in the detection of preceding two parts Divide risk choice training.Each training chest random selection arm setting signal A, another selection arm setting signal B, work as experiment After animal have selected certain arm, all blackouts, animal can obtain the reward that signal matches on the selection arm in reward area. Using monitoring and record system monitoring and behavioural characteristic of the recording laboratory animal in the training stage, including selection situation, prize Encourage situation, operating time, feedback etc..
In preference amendment training in above-mentioned steps four, if having the experimental animal of serious preference, that is, increasing above-mentioned Supplemental training in the case of or when cannot correct the preference to side, then using intensive training mode, i.e., only in experiment Certain reward could be obtained during the side that animal selection is seldom selected in reward area.Make again after the selection certain number of times of intensive training Trained with preference amendment training method.
Present invention has the advantages that, the rat risk of above-mentioned design chooses the training method of behavior, training method and step Design is more reasonable, more scientific, can significantly reduce the training time, and training for promotion efficiency, training has higher success rate, and can obtain true Reliable experimental data, contributes to researcher to be efficiently monitored to animal behavior.
Specific embodiment
With reference to embodiment, the present invention is described further.
Rat risk chooses the training method of behavior, it is characterised in that as follows the step of its training method:
Step one, trainer prepare:Trainer will at least include training box, animal triggering device, selection arm, sound feedback System, reward area, monitoring and record system;(1)Multiple training chests are set in the training box of setting;(2)The training chest of training box Middle setting animal triggering device, experimental animal is required for touch trigger device before starting each training mission, it is ensured that experiment is in reality Carried out on the premise of testing animal operant conditioned reflex;(3)Two profiles, structure equal indifferences are set in the training chest of training box Selection arm, select arm species do not limit, the passage and depressible action bars passed through for experimental animal.Each selection arm Structure on or surrounding space certain limit in independent mux --out signal exhibits area is set, be easy to experimental animal set up signal with it is corresponding Contact between selection arm.Signal can be diversified forms, but need to ensure the signal influence such as nonirritant on experimental animal.At this Signal is divided into two kinds in training mission, using the differentiation of figure or the differentiation of color or the differentiation of bright light number as reality Test the two species diversity signals that animal can differentiate;(4)Sound feedback system, the selection feelings according to experimental animal are set in training box Condition gives the prompting of certain sound feedback alternatively situation, such as the positive tone for raising up is set into correct selection prompting Sound, the passive tone of decline is set to wrong choice prompt tone;(5)Reward area is set in the training chest of training box, is only tested Animal reaches reward area and can obtain quantitative reward.Bonuses could be arranged to peanut, water, fruit juice etc. according to experimental program The food of experimental animal enthusiasm can be transferred.According to task, reward is divided into two kinds, a kind of for reward probability is 100% to quantify Small reward, is named as reward S, and the amount of reward S is depending on experimental design.It is quantitative big less than 100% that another kind is reward probability Reward, is named as reward L, and the reward probability and reward amount for rewarding L can be depending on experimental designs;(6)Prison is set in training box Control and record system, it is ensured that experimental animal state can in real time be monitored and record, record key element include the operating time of animal, choosing Select situation, reward situation, feedback etc..
Step 2, experimental animal prepare:Experimental animal trains first 1 week by handle treatment, experimental animal is familiar with instruction Practice personnel, exclude animal influences training effect because producing the moods such as fear, anxiety on experimenter;Sound is carried out after Handle Amount strength test, the wave volume should ensure that experimental animal will not produce the exception row such as fear in the case of can perceiving sound For record source of sound is away from the parameter such as experimental animal distance and decibels size, correct prompt tone and mistake in implementing for experiment The parameter that prompt tone is set;Testing first three day need to carry out control water or control food preparation according to experimental design, keep the weight of animals not low The 85% of normal type before food is controlled, it is ensured that make animal produce the dynamic of operation task in the case where animal bodies situation is not damaged Machine.During the training period, after training makes the free diet of experimental animal to no longer diet after terminating every time, continue to control water or control food.Respectively Can start formal training after the completion of item preparation.
Step 3, scene adaptation training:Experimental animal is put into the training chest original position in training box, makes it freely visit Rope, once animal touch trigger device, then start a training mission, scene laundering period purpose is experimental animal is familiar with instruction Practice place and its surrounding enviroment, understand training box structure, the award mode of familiarization training case and feature etc., therefore need not in training chest Any signal is set, as long as experimental animal selects any selection arm after triggering device is started and reaches reward region, is sounded Correct prompt tone simultaneously gives certain reward.If experimental animal repeats, multi-pass operation or faulty operation, mistake of sounding is carried Show sound, given without reward.Each training mission is both needed to the autonomous touch trigger device of experimental animal to start.The behaviour of experimental animal Make situation and reward situation is both needed to record, be easy to subsequently carry out statistical analysis to behavior task operating situation.Experiment number foundation Reward is set depending on the situation of size and experimental animal, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining.When experimental animal operation just True rate reach more than 80% and it is continual and steady after think that experimental animal has realized training objective, turn to the preference profile to animal Detected and corrected.
Step 4, preference detection and amendment training:Statistical experiment animal selects two to select arm in training box respectively Number of times, compares whether they have notable difference, if not existing difference, then it is assumed that experimental animal selects a certain item in the absence of preference Situation, without being modified training;If having differences, then it is assumed that experimental animal has the situation that preference selects a certain item.In order to Prevent the study and selection of this preference influence animal in training below and experiment of experimental animal, the experiment for having preference from moving Thing need to carry out preference amendment training.
It is every in training box using preference amendment training method for the rat for having preference in preference amendment training Signal is not provided with individual selection arm, experimental animal unrestricted choice could be obtained when only successively selecting variant twice in reward area Obtain and necessarily reward.For this regular experimental animal without law society, then increase supplemental training, i.e., selected by artificial side of blocking The mode of arm helps the rat to carry out the training by selecting arm, and per supplemental training, 5 times the detection of freedom of entry selection mode is real again afterwards The selection situation of animal is tested, for two selections time of selection arm in the case of experimental animal association alternate selection or unrestricted choice When number is without significant difference, it is believed that experimental animal is without preference.
In preference amendment training, if having the experimental animal of serious preference, i.e., in the case where above-mentioned supplemental training is increased also Be when cannot correct the preference to side, then using intensive training mode, i.e., for only seldom being selected in experimental animal selection Certain reward could be obtained during side in reward area.Preference amendment training method instruction is reused after the selection certain number of times of intensive training Practice.
Step 5, assignment training:Assignment training is divided into secure item training and risk training, two priorities of tasking learning Order is random, and the study of the next item down task could be turned in the case of must ensureing a task association.Signal kinds and reward kind Class need to remain matching.The selection situation of daily experimental animal is counted, when experimental animal selection is provided with the choosing of corresponding signal The frequency for selecting arm reaches more than 80% in continuous 4 days, that is, select accuracy continuous 4 days up to more than 80%, then it is assumed that it has learned this Task, reaches training objective.(1)Secure item training is that experimental animal is put into training box original position, if training box sets many Individual training chest, then experimental animal is put into the original position of any training chest at random, is started after experimental animal touch trigger device One selection task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal A, another nothing to make it Signal.When experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of signal A, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can be Reward area obtains reward S;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal A, miscue sound equipment rises, is given without reward And record corresponding selection situation;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if in its arrival Animal performs other operations before reward area, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, records corresponding operational circumstances.If Animal smoothly reaches reward area after selection, then select situation to obtain corresponding reward according to it, and the selection task terminates, equipment Enter into next mission ready time.Likewise, animal can only start next selection after touch trigger device appointing Business, the signal facilities of next selection task are performed depending on the situation of upper selection task according to animal, should be followed and " be entangled It is wrong " principle:If the selection arm of setting signal A is selected in a upper selection task for experimental animal and arrival reward area is encouraged Encourage, then next selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal selects in a upper selection task The selection arm for being not provided with signal A is selected, then the signal of next selection task sets ibid a selection task, i.e. signal and sets Relative position is identical.Every experimental animal selection task number of times is not more than 100 daily, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining. (2)Risk training is the original position that experimental animal is put into any one training box, after experimental animal touch trigger device Start a selection task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal B to make it, another Individual no signal.When experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of signal B, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can Reward L is obtained with reward area;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal B, miscue sound equipment rises, without reward Give and record corresponding selection situation;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if at it Animal performs other operations before reaching reward area, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, the corresponding operation feelings of record Condition.If animal smoothly reaches reward area after selection, situation is selected to obtain corresponding reward, the selection task knot according to it Beam, equipment enters into next mission ready time.Likewise, animal can only start after touch trigger device it is next Selection task, the signal facilities of next selection task should be according to the situation of the upper selection task of animal execution It is fixed, it then follows " error correction " principle:If experimental animal selects the selection arm of setting signal B in a upper selection task and reaches reward Area is rewarded, then next selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal is in upper one selection Selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal B in task, then the signal of next selection task sets an ibid selection task, that is, believe Number set relative position it is identical.Every experimental animal task number of times upper limit is 100 times daily, prevents the influence animal that overtrains Behavior.
Step 6, memory consolidation training:Experimental animal is put into the original position of any one Experiment Training room, by animal Autonomous to start training mission, task is divided into two parts, and Part I is trained with the secure item of step 5, the same step of the second part Five risk training, it is random that two parts perform sequencing.When experimental animal can keep selection just in two kinds of tasks True rate stabilization can then carry out the experiment of next step more than 80%.
Step 7, risk choice training:The training is divided into three parts, respectively secure item detection, risk detection, behavior Choice.Preceding two parts detection method is trained with the secure item of step 5, risk training method, and the execution of preceding two parts detection is suitable Sequence is random, only carries out the 3rd when experimental animal selects accuracy to reach more than 90% and stabilization in the detection of preceding two parts Divide risk choice training.Each training chest random selection arm setting signal A, another selection arm setting signal B, work as experiment After animal have selected certain arm, all blackouts, animal can obtain the reward that signal matches on the selection arm in reward area. Using monitoring and record system monitoring and behavioural characteristic of the recording laboratory animal in the training stage, including selection situation, prize Encourage situation, operating time, feedback etc..
It should be noted that the invention is not restricted to above example, to those of ordinary skill in the art, not On the premise of departing from inventive concept of the invention and principle, some improvements and modifications can also be made, these improvements and modifications It is considered as protection scope of the present invention.

Step 5, assignment training:Assignment training is divided into secure item training and risk training, two sequencings of tasking learning At random, the study of the next item down task could be turned in the case of a task association must being ensured;Signal kinds and reward species are needed Remain matching;The selection situation of daily experimental animal is counted, when experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of corresponding signal Frequency reach more than 80% within continuous 4 days, that is, select continuous 4 days up to more than 80% of accuracy, then it is assumed that it has learned this task, Reach training objective;(1)Secure item training is that experimental animal is put into training box original position, if training box sets multiple training Room, then experimental animal is put into the original position of any training chest at random, and a choosing is started after experimental animal touch trigger device Select task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal A, another no signal to make it;When When experimental animal selection is provided with the selection arm of signal A, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can be obtained in reward area S must be rewarded;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal A, miscue sound equipment is risen, and phase is given and recorded without reward The selection situation answered;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if before its arrival reward area Animal performs other operations, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, records corresponding operational circumstances;If animal is in choosing Reward area is smoothly reached after selecting, then selects situation to obtain corresponding reward according to it, the selection task terminates, and equipment is entered into down Individual mission ready time;Likewise, animal can only start next selection task after touch trigger device, it is next The signal facilities of selection task are performed depending on the situation of upper selection task according to animal, should follow " error correction " principle: If the selection arm of setting signal A is selected in a upper selection task for experimental animal and arrival reward area is rewarded, next Individual selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal selects to be not provided with letter in a upper selection task The selection arm of number A, then the signal of next selection task ibid a selection task, i.e., the relative position phase that signal is set are set Together;Every experimental animal selection task number of times is not more than 100 daily, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining;(2)Risk instruction White silk is the original position that experimental animal is put into any one training box, and a selection is started after experimental animal touch trigger device Task, it is desirable to which two random one of arms of selection provide signal in corresponding training chest, and it is signal B, another no signal to make it;Work as reality When testing animal selection and being provided with the selection arm of signal B, correct prompt tone is selected to sound, experimental animal can obtain in reward area Reward L;If experimental animal selection is not provided with the selection arm of signal B, miscue sound equipment rises, and gives and record corresponding without reward Selection situation;After experimental animal makes a choice, no matter select which arm, signal disappear, if in its arrival reward Qu Qiandong Thing performs other operations, then miscue sound equipment rises, and is given without reward, records corresponding operational circumstances;If animal is in selection Reward area smoothly being reached afterwards, then selecting situation to obtain corresponding reward according to it, the selection task terminates, and equipment enters into next Mission ready time;Likewise, animal can only start next selection task, next choosing after touch trigger device Select task signal facilities should according to animal perform it is upper one selection task situation depending on, it then follows " error correction " principle: If the selection arm of setting signal B is selected in a upper selection task for experimental animal and arrival reward area is rewarded, next Individual selection task signal is arranged on random selection arm;If experimental animal selects to be not provided with letter in a upper selection task The selection arm of number B, then the signal of next selection task ibid a selection task, i.e., the relative position phase that signal is set are set Together;Every experimental animal task number of times upper limit is 100 times daily, prevents influence animal behavior of overtraining;
Step 6, memory consolidation training:Experimental animal is put into the original position of any one Experiment Training room, it is autonomous by animal Start training mission, task is divided into two parts, and Part I is trained with the secure item of step 5, and the second part is with step 5 Risk training, it is random that two parts perform sequencing;When experimental animal can keep selecting accuracy in two kinds of tasks Stabilization can then carry out the experiment of next step more than 80%;
Step 7, risk choice training:The training is divided into three parts, and respectively secure item detection, risk detection, behavior is picked out Select;Preceding two parts detection method is trained with the secure item of step 5, risk training method, the execution sequence of preceding two parts detection At random, only Part III is carried out when experimental animal selects accuracy to reach more than 90% and stabilization in the detection of preceding two parts Risk choice training;Each training chest random selection arm setting signal A, another selection arm setting signal B, when experiment is dynamic After thing have selected certain arm, all blackouts, animal can obtain the reward that signal matches on the selection arm in reward area;Profit Monitored and behavioural characteristic of the recording laboratory animal in the training stage with monitoring and record system, including selection situation, reward Situation, operating time and feedback.
2. the behavioral pharmacology research device that rat risk according to claim 1 is chosen, it is characterised in that:Step 4 In preference amendment training, if having the experimental animal of serious preference, i.e., still cannot change in the case where supplemental training is increased When just to the preference of side, then using intensive training mode, i.e., only could at the side that experimental animal selection is seldom selected Certain reward is obtained in reward area;The training of preference amendment training method is reused after the selection certain number of times of intensive training.
3. the behavioral pharmacology research device that rat risk according to claim 1 is chosen, it is characterised in that:In step 5 " error correction " system, after experimental animal is cooked the selection for making mistake, the method to set up and phase of signal when next subtask is set It is identical with last task holding to position.
