<p>A closed rotary maze for animal memory training system includes a round case (1) and a circuit control system. The bottom of the case (1) is provided with a rotary plate (6) actuated by a motor (4). The motor (4) is installed on a central post, and the output shaft of the motor (4) is fixedly connected with the rotary plate (6) along the axis of the central post so that the rotary plate (6) is rotated around the central post by the action of the motor (4). The lower peripheral of the frame of the case (1) is provided with several pulleys (12) for supporting the rotary plate (6). A screen-like support net (5) is provided on the rotary plate (6). The present maze adopts the design of using a rotary plate to rotate the round case so that the experimental animals need not be put back to starting-point and the whole session of experiment can be completed uninterruptedly. The maze device abandons the configuration of maze being driven by gradient voltage in prior art. The maze is equipped with an automatic flush and drainage system so as to effectively prevent animals from depending on smell to complete a test. The maze is provided with a remote monitor so as to perform detection under control of programs according to living behaviors of the experimental animals at night. A visual stimulation unit and an odor release unit in the maze work simultaneously, such that the experimental animals feel stimulation as if in a real environment, which facilitates acquirement of the experimental data.</p> |
