The following describes specific steps of a behavioral experimental method for searching memory of an animal according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 2.
The animal search memory behavioristics experimental method provided by the embodiment of the invention is carried out by adopting the animal search memory behavioristics experimental device, as shown in fig. 2, and comprises the following steps;
s1: the contrast shading plate 2 is removed;
s2: removing the executing light shielding plate 3, and recording a first time length from the removal of the reference light shielding plate 2 to the removal of the executing light shielding plate 3;
s3: recording a second time from the dismantling of the executing shading plate 3 to the time when the arm of the experimental animal extends into the hand stretching opening 11;
s4: recording a third time period from the time the arm of the experimental animal extends into the hand-extending opening 11 to the time the arm of the experimental animal extends into the feeding execution opening 1221.
It can be understood that, in the course of the behavioural experiment, the first time period from the removal of the control light shielding plate 2 to the removal of the execution light shielding plate 3, the second time period from the removal of the execution light shielding plate 3 to the extension of the arm of the experimental animal into the hand stretching port 11 and the third time period from the extension of the arm of the experimental animal into the hand stretching port 11 to the extension of the arm of the experimental animal into the food taking port 1221 are recorded, the whole behavioural experiment for search and memory is divided into three time periods of observation of the distribution of the control turning plate 5, the extension of the arm into the hand stretching port 11 and the extension of the arm into the food taking port 1221, so that the animal behaviour standardization and the accurate quantification of the experimental animal are realized, the whole experiment has universality, and the function of detecting the corresponding temporal lobe of the brain area through the behavioural experiment for search and memory is achieved.
In some alternative embodiments, in step S2, the control shield 2 is installed while the execution shield 3 is removed so that the shield occludes the control chamber 121. It can be understood that, demolish execution light screen 3, control light screen 2 still keeps demolishd the state, and the condition in control cavity 121 still can be observed to the laboratory animal this moment, may produce harmful effects to the experiment like this, in this embodiment demolish execution light screen 3 the time install control light screen 2 so that the light screen shelters from control cavity 121, guaranteed like this to demolish the unable circumstances of observing in the control cavity 121 of laboratory animal behind the execution light screen 3 to the accuracy of experimental result has been guaranteed.
In some alternative embodiments, in step S3, after the light shielding plate 3 is removed and executed for the first preset time, the arm of the experimental animal still does not pass through the hand stretching opening 11, and the experiment is stopped; in step S4, after the arm of the experimental animal passes through the hand stretching opening 11 for a second preset time, the arm of the experimental animal does not extend into the feeding execution opening 1221, and the experiment is stopped.
It can be understood that, in the experiment process, the experimental animal can accurately take out food from the corresponding execution food taking port 1221 in the execution box body, and the execution of the experimental animal is calibrated to be successful; if the experimental animal extends the arm into the wrong execution feeding port 1221, the calibration animal fails to execute; and if the experimental animal does not carry out the feeding operation after the executing shading plate 3 is detached for a period of time, the non-executing behavior of the experimental animal is calibrated. However, if the experimental animal is always waiting for the completion of the food taking operation, the experimental animal may not extend the arm into the hand stretching opening 11 in some cases due to the difference of the auditory association matching ability and the execution ability of the experimental animal, and much time is wasted if the experiment is not stopped. In the embodiment of the invention, the first preset time and the second preset time are set as the nodes for forcibly stopping the experiment, so that the experiment time is saved, and the experiment efficiency is improved.
