Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristic parameters and variation of acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and conditioning response (CR)during the acquisition of delay-trace eyeblink conditioning.Methods15healthy Kunming mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:single-task DEBC group ( n =5 ) ; single-task TEBC group ( n =5) ; dual delay/trace group ( n =5).Three groups received paired training of tone conditioned stimulus(CS)in different audio frequency (TEBC groups:2KHz; DEBC group:1KHz) and a 100 ms comeal oxygenpuff unconditioned stimulus(US).Then observed the characteristic parameters of ASR and CR.ResultsAfter pairing training for 10 days,ASR rate( ASR％ ) of single-task groups ( 10th day (38.00 ± 8.64) ％ and (38.55 ±12.41 ) ％ respectively,time effect:F =4.574,P =0.008 ; group effect:F =2.021,P =0.193 ) and dual delaytrace group ( 10th day (47.95 ± 14.23 ) ％ and (62.01 ± 9.03 ) ％ respectively,time effect:F =5,547 P =0.013 ;group effect:F =0.738,P =0.415) changed significantly with the following training but between single-task groups or dual delay-trace group.CR rate ( CR％ ) of single-task groups ( 10th day were (45.4 ± 5.39) ％ and (65.6 ± 6.77) ％ respectively,time effect:F =9.558,P =0.000 ; group effect:F =5.117,P =0.054 ) and dual delay/trace group ( 10th day (57.66 ± 4.34) ％ and (77.35 ± 7.36) ％ respectively,time effect:F =7.750,P =0.002 ;group effect:F=1.449,P=0.263 ) showed obvious change with the following training but between singletask groups or dual delay-trace group.Peak amplitude of single-task DEBC group ( time effect F =2.679,P =0.017 ) and dual delay-trace group ( F=3.452,P=0.034 ) had increased significantly with the following training.Peak latency showed no obvious change.ConclusionDual delay-trace conditioning procedure of classical eyeblink conditioning and single-task can be successfully established in Kunming mice.Although there are some variations,those can be controled and be weaken effect of them by taking targeted measures.
