A remote control system has been developed to deliver stimuli into the rat brain through a wireless micro-stimulator for animal behavior training. The system consists of the following main components: an integrated PC control program, a transmitter and a receiver based on Bluetooth (BT) modules, a stimulator controlled by C8051 microprocessor, as well as an operant chamber and an eight-arm radial maze. The micro-stimulator is featured with its changeable amplitude of pulse output for both constant-voltage and constant-current mode, which provides an easy way to set the proper suitable stimulation intensity for different training. The system has been used in behavior experiments for monitoring and recording bar-pressing in the operant chamber, controlling rat roaming in the eight-arm maze, as well as navigating rats through a 3D obstacle route. The results indicated that the system worked stably and that the stimulation was effective for different types of rat behavior controls. In addition, the results showed that stimulation in the whisker barrel region of rat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) acted like a cue. The animals can be trained to take different desired turns upon the association between the SI cue stimulation and the reward stimulation in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB).

萎蔫现象是植物亏水胁迫环境下表现出的一种生命特征。为了定量辨识植株的萎蔫体态,在应用激光扫描装置快速获取植株3-D图像基础上,定义了4种萎蔫指数,即叶面卷曲统计指数、叶片形心的高斯曲率、基于形心切平面的叶尖投影以及叶片边缘投影求和平均。实验方法将叶片萎蔫程度分为5个等级水平(LS1~LS5),通过逐一检验每种定义的萎蔫指数是否具有单调性得出可应用性结论。实验结果表明距离投影算法满足萎蔫指数的单调要
