基于实时动物行为动态控制行为任务的能力是实验神经科学家的一个重要特征。然而,为行为研究设计自动化盒子需要机械、电子和软件设计技能的协调组合,这甚至可以挑战最好的工程师,因此过去大多数实验神经生物学和行为药理学研究人员都无法做到这一点。由于神经科学研究人员在为神经科学研究人员开发的开源硬件和软件方面取得了平行进展,现在情况发生了显著变化。在这里,我们使用盆景可视化编程语言中的例子和教程来讨论研究行为的强大方法,以设计能够帮助研究人员立即开始的简单的神经科学实验。这种语言使研究人员即使在没有编程经验的情况下也很容易将几个开源设备的操作并行地结合在一起,并设计他们自己的集成定制解决方案,从而实现了独特而灵活的行为研究方法,包括行为视频跟踪和闭环电生理学。
The ability to dynamically control a behavioral task based on real-time animal behavior is an important feature for experimental neuroscientists. However, designing automated boxes for behavioral studies requires a coordinated combination of mechanical, electronic, and software design skills which can challenge even the best engineers, and for that reason used to be out of reach for the majority of experimental neurobiology and behavioral pharmacology researchers. Due to parallel advances in open-source hardware and software developed for neuroscience researchers, by neuroscience researchers, the landscape has now changed significantly. Here, we discuss powerful approaches to the study of behavior using examples and tutorials in the Bonsai visual programming language, towards designing simple neuroscience experiments that can help researchers immediately get started. This language makes it easy for researchers, even without programming experience, to combine the operation of several open-source devices in parallel and design their own integrated custom solutions, enabling unique and flexible approaches to the study of behavior, including video tracking of behavior and closed-loop electrophysiology.
