Post training reward is beneficial to the behavior paradigm building

Xianji Pan

Abstract


The behavior paradigm building of laboratory animals is a common method in biological research. Training animals according to different paradigms can often be used to explore some characteristics of animals. Conditional training is the starting point and foundation of each paradigm training. Goal behavior training is the main content of paradigm building. Effective paradigm training can save a lot of time and improve the state of experimental animals. This research results showed that proper post training reward could effectively improve the training motivation and training efficiency of mice. These behaviors will also benefit the effect of behavior paradigm building. Therefore, we suggest that an appropriate and effective post training reward scheme should be design for each behavior paradigm building.
