Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of animal behaviours and neurophysiology researches, and particularly relates to an animal behavior training and testing system, a training method and a testing method thereof.
Background
Maze (such as cross maze, Y/T, maze, shape-return maze, splay maze) training is a basic means for studying the learning and memory ability of gnawing animals. And is also commonly used in other research fields, such as identification of cognitive functions of genetically manipulated animals, screening of cognitive drugs, and the like.
In the past, when such maze training is performed on animals, a manual training method is often adopted. For example, training of intelligence and memory of mice based on maze model is a common training program, but when training is performed under manual conditions, an experimenter needs to do a lot of work, such as recording experimental results continuously, or sometimes, the experimenter needs to hold a baffle to limit rats in an initial area and remove the baffle after a specified delay period, and the like, and if the rewarding amount and risk probability of the experiment need to be changed, a lot of change work needs to be performed on the whole experimental environment again. Therefore, a plurality of people are often required to cooperatively complete the training experiment. This method requires a high skill of the experimenter to avoid overstressing the animal as much as possible. This approach can greatly impact the objectivity of the result due to the large variability of human manipulation.
Furthermore, with the continued progress of methods such as behavioral electrophysiology, simple behavioral observations have failed to meet the needs of researchers. When electrophysiological observations and recordings are made of animals in task operations, human contact with the animals will greatly interfere with the observations. Automation and programming of behavioral training are necessary requirements for electrophysiological recording of free-moving animals.

4. An animal performance training and testing system according to claim 3, wherein the switch sensor is a pressure lever, an infrared sensor or a pressure sensor; the detection sensor is an infrared sensor.
5. A method of testing animal social literacy using the animal behavioral training and testing system of claim 1, comprising the steps of:
placing animals trained by a decision maker focal in front of an entrance door of an entrance channel of a left maze, placing animals trained by a passive executor receiver in front of the entrance door of the entrance channel of a right maze, and opening the entrance doors of the entrance channels of the two mazes;
Step two, judging whether a switch sensor of a first rewarding channel entrance door of the left maze is triggered, if yes, entering a step three; if not, judging whether a switch sensor of a second prize channel entrance door of the left maze is triggered, if not, repeating the second step, and if so, entering the fourth step;
Opening a first rewarding channel entrance door of the two-side maze, opening LED light emitters of rewarding areas in the first rewarding channel of the two-side maze, respectively judging whether detection sensors in the rewarding areas of the two sides are triggered or not, and if not, repeating the judgment; if the first rewarding channel exit door is triggered, closing a channel entrance door of the corresponding side maze and an LED illuminator, opening a first rewarding channel exit door of the corresponding side, and entering a step five when both sides are triggered;
step four, opening a second rewarding channel entrance door of the two-sided maze, opening LED light emitters of rewarding areas in the second rewarding channel of the left maze, respectively judging whether detection sensors in the rewarding areas at the two sides are triggered, and if not, repeating the judgment; if the second prize channel exit door is triggered, closing the channel entrance door and the LED illuminator of the corresponding side labyrinth, opening the second prize channel exit door of the corresponding side, and entering the step six when both sides are triggered;
Step five, judging whether the detection sensors of the outlet doors of the first reward channels of the mazes on two sides are triggered or not respectively, and if not, repeating the judgment; if yes, closing a first rewarding area entrance door of the corresponding side maze, judging whether a switch sensor of a channel entrance door of the maze at both sides is triggered after both sides are triggered, and if not, repeating the judgment; if yes, closing a first reward channel outlet door of the corresponding side maze, and entering a step seven after both sides are triggered;
Step six, judging whether a detection sensor of an outlet door of a second prize channel of the maze at two sides is triggered, if not, repeating the judgment; if yes, closing a second rewarding area entrance door of the two-side maze, judging whether a switch sensor of a channel entrance door of the two-side maze is triggered, and if not, repeating the judgment; if yes, closing a second prize channel outlet door of the maze at two sides; entering a step seven;
Step seven, returning to the step one after time delay, and opening an entrance door of an entrance channel of the maze on two sides; or the decision maker and the passive executor recorded by the analysis control module are respectively stored in the data storage module to finish the selection condition data of the first and second rewarding channels.
